I have been looking and reading daily about the situation of Somalia and much of the Horn of Africa for the last three years. I have also looked at and read about John Prendergast "Enough Project" and i was really sad to say that somalia only got a brief mention even though somalia is by far the worlds worst humanitarian crises thanks to the US government that armed, financed and supported the brutal ethiopian occupation of somallia

So why are the somali people being accused and punished of by the US government of crimes that no somali has commited.

I believe that ... ( 7 months ago by abdi6734)

I believe that Jeffrey Gettleman has said it all. That the UIC have given the somali people what they were crying out for the last 17 years and that is peace and the rule of law. However the United states robbed the little hope that the people of somalia had, and they immediately accused the UIC of being Al qaeda. Even though the people who bombed the US embassy in Kenya, Tanzania were not even somalis.

John Prendergast ... ( 7 months ago by abdi6734)

John Prendergast with he's "Enough project" should try to give the people of somalia justice by highlighting what he's government has been doing in somalia for the last two years. Ethiopia illegally invaded somalia even though the UN security council specifically forbid ethiopia in 2006 to occupy somalia in resolution 1725. Why does John Prendergast talk about that, rather 24/7 talking about Darfur this darfur that, while he's own government is endorsing and funding the ethiopian genocide
