I'm sorry, how on ... ( 7 months ago by MattressGallery)

I'm sorry, how on Earth did the USA ruin Somalia? The last time I checked, it was inter-tribal rivalry among Somalis that was responsible for all the misery in your country. Western colonialism had nothing to do with this at all.

Those who claim ... ( 5 months ago by fidaarme)

Those who claim that Somalis are victims of the West, Ethiopia, or other external forces, either are ignorant, bias or uninformed. I'm a Somali, I didn't loose my country to external forces, I lost it to my neighbors, my countrymen, thugs, warlords, and now religious fanatics. Stop whining and realize the enemy of Somalia is Somali-gangs, period. Also Mogadishu is really the only city that's holding Somalia a hostage. To the reporter, don't go back there, u gotta be lucky to come back alive.

who is she fooling with her revealing hijab, its not how u wear it its supposed to cover your hair thats the whole point.

How about dragging ... ( 5 months ago by Ranger54)

How about dragging dead soldiers through your streets like animals. Is that the kind of good change you're referring to? I saw on TV thousands of the good citizens of Mogadishu, men, women, and children celebrating the mutilation and defamation of our soldiers. In fact isn't Oct. 3-4 a holiday that is still celebrated in Mogadishu? Stop blaming the Americans, the West, or whoever else--YOUR COUNTRYMEN destroyed Somalia. Not the US. Good luck building the nation by yourselves...

Thank you for your ... ( 5 months ago by Ranger54)

Thank you for your comments. It is refreshing to see someone who sees the big picture. It's sad to see such a good country go to hell at the hands of thugs in Mogadishu God bless,

Does it really matter if she wears the hijab correctly? She is not Muslim. The issue is the context of her journalism. That is the question.

Movies like Black Hawk Down tend to create an emotional response. The image that most Americans now have of Somalis are a bunch of screaming savages mobs, dragging the bodies through the street. Have you ever met a real Somali in real life?

I didn't hear her say anything apologetic. Interesting. It sounded to me like she was just reporting a story for her news investigation.

That dragging ... ( 4 months ago by wabdinur)

That dragging incident happened after America decided to be heavy handed against Aidid. How would you react if someone jumped out of a helicopter and starting shooting around in your own neighborhood? Good thing the Bush administration was smart enough not to send American soldiers into Somalia. He gave just $500 million dollars to Ethiopia and now some Ethiopian farmer is dying somewhere in Somalia. What a mad world we live in.

u fucking MORON!. you don't have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. THAT IS NOTHING compared to the crimes the U.S. and Europe committed against SOMALIA. I wish i had the chance to drag bush/blair through the streets of mogadishu. Sounding like the typical WHITE AMERICAN MORON! i hope you wake up someday.

al-qaeda is just an excuse for committing mass slaughter and genocide. somalis always resisted foreigners including the so called "AL_QAEDA". for hundreds of years somalis demanded qualitatively and quantitatively the unification of somali territories under the banner of greater somalia, so was al-qaeda spearheading this nationalistic movement??????? stop labelling and distorting the truth. somalis should be left alone to manage their affairs and they can re-build their if left alone.
