Aired on June 28, 2007
We've been focused tonight on the rising U.S. military presence in Africa, where the rhetoric of the War on Terror and the reality of America's thirst for oil are leading to new boots on the ground. And they're landing in the wake of the U.S.-backed invasion of Somalia by Ethiopian troops late last year. It was world news, briefly, but quickly fell right off the map.
Not so for people in Somalia, where vicious fighting and civilian casualties continue. Avi talks to UN veteran Salim Lone on the implications of this under-reported conflict.
Please note: The BBC film on Somalia is not available online because of rights issues.

So you blame whites and Ethiopia for 16 years of butchery of one Somali to other Somali.
As Salim said in ... ( 9 months ago by ufsland)
As Salim said in the interview the ISC union brought security after 15 years of instability and corruption by the war lords.These men were not politician or experianced. As result the made some errors in their decion making. However the ICU created security,stability, aiports and ports were opened for business. They needed to be applauded for the achivements under the dire circumanstances they were in.Instead the international community once again called them "Terrorists".
