U.S. policy in the Horn of Africa may aid al-Qaida, experts warn
Posted on Fri, Dec. 22, 2006
By Jonathan S. Landay and Shashank Bengali, McClatchy
Newspapers
As fighting intensified Friday between Somali Islamists and an
Ethiopian intervention force, Western diplomats and experts warned
that U.S. policy in the Horn of Africa - intended to curb Islamic
radicalism - may not only be fueling this newest conflict, but also
may be making it easier for al-Qaida to gain a foothold in the
strategic region. |

U.S.–EXACERBATED CIVIL WAR IN ANOTHER NATION: SOMALIA

Friday, December 22, 2006
With Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Palestine already in or sliding
toward civil war, one can correctly label the Bush administration's
foreign policy the most incompetent in recent memory. But the
problem lies deeper than that. The hyperactive, and often
counterproductive, U.S. foreign policy is a bipartisan problem, best
illustrated by the sordid U.S. history in Somalia. |

Somalia
Remains in Political Stasis Despite Mounting Tensions
Drafted By: Dr. Michael
A. Weinstein
http://www.pinr.com
During the second half of November and into December, the conflict
in Somalia between the Islamic Courts Council (I.C.C.), which seeks
to establish an Islamic state in the country based on the
implementation of Shari'a law, and Ethiopia, which is determined to
prevent that outcome and backs the powerless clan-based Transitional
Federal Government (T.F.G.) militarily and diplomatically, continued
to teeter on the brink of war, with the two major actors gazing into
the abyss and regional states and organizations, international
organizations, and Western powers attempting to head off the
outbreak of full-scale armed confrontation through diplomatic
initiatives. |
