discovered to their cost the same harsh
reality confronting the Americans in Iraq: it
is easy for a well-equipped and trained
army to defeat in short order an inferior
enemy. What follows, however, is
frustration and humiliation as that enemy .

Somalia: the hell that
must not be ignored
By Anna Husarska
Somalia's internal conflict
is propelled by a
combustible mix of
religion, politics and clan
rivalry. Civilians are killed
daily in Mogadishu, there
are roadside bombs and
mortar attacks, and
politicians and journalists
are targeted. Making
matters worse, the
country has suffered this
year from both floods and
drought.
This combination of
insecurity and natural
disasters has displaced
huge numbers of people
and caused suffering on a
scale painful to behold.
According to the most
recent UN figures,
400,000 people, or roughly
one-third of Mogadishu's
population, have fled the
city. Click here

Somalia: An
Ethiopian General
Humiliates the
Somali President
Throughout history,
foreign forces have
invaded weak and
vulnerable countries
where their leaders
were quickly
overthrown, forced
to resign or went into
exile as the invading
military tightened its
grip on the fallen
nations. However,
some selfish and
greedy leaders
sought foreign
intervention as an
opportunity to
advance
themselves. They
hoped that they
might finally be
parachuted into the
presidential seat so
they not only
collaborated with
foreign army but they
also guided it to their
own countries.
Usually, these
collaborators serve
only the interest of
the occupying army
and may face some
ill-treatment if they
fail to do as
instructed by the
occupiers. But, no
puppet leader has
ever received more
humiliating
treatments from an
occupying army than
the Somali interim
president, Mr.
Abdullahi Yussuf.
