Mareeg.com-uk-London-In a recent radio interview in South Africa, US
President Barrack Hussein Obama,
deflecting direct US responsibility for almost 20 years of non-stop proxy
war on
Somalia , stated that the " militants" so called ``Al-Shabaab-Al-Qaeda
terrorist
network`` were not only responsible for the twin bombings of Kampala,
Uganda, but
were also "racist".
The bombings in Kampala and the Al-Shabaab/AlQaeda gang must be clearly
condemned
just as the daily bombardments of Mogadishu civilians by Ugandan forces for
the loss
of innocent life. However, what nevertheless greatly pale in comparison to
the
Kampala bombings are the 15,000 innocent Somali civilians so far butchered
by the
Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni, along with the Burundi regime.
This, not to mention the 1 million Somali civilians continuously being
uprooted,
massacred and shelled daily by the US-backed Uganda-Burundi occupying forces
with
the 40 tons of weapons shipped directly under the explicit orders of the
same
President Obama!
Therefore, what President Obama failed to mention (along with the wider US
mass
media) is why the Ugandan and Burundi mercenaries (so called "AMISOM") are
killing
innocent Somali civilians inside Somalia to begin with?
In other words, where is the connection between failed Ugandan-Burundi
dictatorships, daily bombarding innocent Mogadishu civilians, and the US's
failed
Somalia war policy?
The answer is what Obama did not want to discuss in the least with the
South Africa
journalists this week, who themselves (it should be noted) did not want to
discuss
the shameful reality that just hours after the FIFA World Cup ended scores
of Somali
civilians lay murdered across the so called "Rainbow nation".
In fact, the innocent Somali businessmen were targeted and killed for no
other
reason than their race by the envious black South African mobs; some of whom
could
be seen dancing as they hacked innocent Somali refugees displaced by the
very same
Uganda-Burundi AMISOM bombardments. This mass anti-Somali killing occurred
a few
blocks from the SABC radio studio in Cape Town where President Obama gave
his "
official reaction" to the Kampala bombings and rather emphatically called
Somali
militants ``racist``.
This is why no one in America really wants to talk about the bloody Somalia
war
debacle.
America's problem in Somalia is that it does not want to admit that there is
a
problem!
The reason why President Obama did not want to discuss US policy in Somalia
is that
it would inevitably lead to exposing American culpability in the massive
ongoing
Ethiopian and Ugandan-Burundi war crimes against Somali civilians. Just like
the
United Nations does not want to discuss the millions of dollars it
deliberately
steals from the hungry and displaced Somali refugees (who all the while are
being
shelled mercilessly by the UN sanctioned Ugandan-Burundi invaders and the
stooge
`TFG`` gang).
So, despite the fact that after almost 20 years of involvement and 5 sitting
US
Presidents (starting with George Bush Sr. all the way to Barrack Obama) have
presided over the Somalia War, not one of these administrations has bothered
to ask
if there is any other option other than making war on Somali people, be it
through
clan warlords or bloody foreign occupation?
Was peace and allowing Somali self-determination ever an option for the US?
Today, there is almost a universal agreement within Western diplomatic
circles and
among Somali people that Somalia will never have peace and stability without
US
approval.
However, when progressive and capable Somali citizens go to the US State
Department
or UN head offices in New York seeking such approval for grassroots plans
to
rebuild their homeland and reconcile with the West, they are immediately
shunned
away. These Somali people are not terrorists, they are Western educated and
religiously principled nationalists who are committed to rebuilding the very
Somali
state institutions that the West destroyed in the 2006 Ethiopian invasion
and has
consequently been unable to achieve in its so called "TFG" paper government
headed
by the war criminal Sharif Sh. Ahmed.
One senior US State Department official even admitted publicly in 2009 to a
gathering of Somali-Americans in Minnesota that the only US policy for
Somalia was a
stateless warzone whose only progression was to be under Ethiopian and
Uganda-Burundi domination. The Somali Resistance in the South complicates
the plan.
Therefore, stating that no option outside of the Ethiopian/Uganda-Burundi
occupation
parameters would be recognized, the US government official urged the Somali
participants to work to destroy the Somali Resistance.
Conclusion
So the question of the Somali people to America in 2010 becomes: If
successive US
governments will not engage the progressive and capable Somali stakeholders
for
peace; if every genuine Somali who resists and does not want to become an
Ethiopian
or Ugandan stooge is to be labeled an "extremist"; if no Somali created and
driven
national plan aimed at making Somalia free from occupation, all forms of
foreign
terror ( be it Ethiopian, Uganda-Burundi or Arab mercenaries) and violence
will be
allowed- what then does the US want from its 20 year Somalia war anyway?
It is time to allow the Somalia people to live peace and justice and stop
the racist
war on Somalia!
