"Somalis flee amid fighting in capital" by Associated Press | July 29, 2009
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Thousands of Somalis fleeing fighting around the capital have massed in a northern town, trying to cross the Gulf of Aden and sneak into Yemen, the UN refugee agency said yesterday.
The exodus comes as the country’s president prepares to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton next week in Nairobi to discuss Somalia’s rising piracy and possible links between Al Qaeda and Somali insurgents.
It gets tiresome, doesn' it?

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said nearly one-quarter of a million Somalis had fled their homes since May 7, when newly unified Islamist insurgents launched a concerted attack on Mogadishu, the capital. The US State Department says some of the insurgent leaders have links to Al Qaeda.
I truly am sick of the lying, distortions, and omissions. Those refugees fade away quickly, don't they -- if you ever hear of them at all.
Up to 12,000 civilians have taken shelter in the northern town of Bossasso, the base where smugglers take them across the perilous waters of the Gulf to Yemen, refugee agency spokesman Ron Redmond told reporters in Geneva.
Thirty-thousand Somalis have already made the crossing this year but more than 300 people have died or gone missing in the process. Redmond said aid agencies were fighting “a losing battle’’ trying to persuade Somalis not to go on the dangerous journey, where deaths from drownings, shootings, hunger, or dehydration are common.
I love the Somali people, and it is rally heartbreaking to see the hell we have delivered upon them, with the further insult of newspaper coverage like this.
The current government holds only a few blocks of Mogadishu, with support from African Union peacekeepers and weapons from countries including the United States. But the government still controls the port, airport, and key buildings.
So that PEACE DEAL we cut with the MODERATE ISLAMISTS that booted our CIA thugs until Ethiopia invaded and our thugs became pirates was meaningless, 'eh?

It turns out ALL the KILLERS can be traced back to CLINTONITE GLOBALISTS (you know, the SAME ONES STAFFING OBAMA's administration) and UNPROSECUTED WESTERN WAR CRIMINALS!

Yeah, the MSM KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT, and yet we get such distorted garbage!!!
"Clinton to offer new aid to Somalia
WASHINGTON - On a seven-nation tour of Africa this week, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will pledge more US assistance, including military aid, to Somalia’s shaky government as it fights for survival against Islamist extremists.
US officials say the Obama administration plans to go ahead with additional weapons supplies to double an initial provision of 40 tons of arms.
That is not going to HELP the VIOLENCE -- especially when the TERRORISTS are WARLORDS on the CIA PAYROLL!
The United States also has begun a low-profile mission to help train Somali security forces in neighboring Djibouti, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivities surrounding US involvement in the program.
Clinton will see Somalia’s interim president, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, Thursday in Kenya, the first stop on her trip. She intends to reaffirm American backing of Ahmed’s Transitional Federal Government.
Then WHAT is with the JEWSPAPER DISTORTIONS?!
Clinton’s meeting with Sheik Ahmed comes at a critical juncture for Somalia, which has not had a functioning government since 1991 and is home to a radical Islamist movement known as al-Shabab.
Except for the SIX MONTHS the ISLAMISTS RULED!!! Follow my links, readers.
The group, which US officials say has links to Al Qaeda, was designated a terrorist organization by Washington last year. The administration’s top diplomat for Africa, Johnnie Carson, said last week the United States would continue to support a small African Union peacekeeping force.
Globalist organizations for globalist plans.
Carson did not elaborate on the assistance. Other officials said a second batch of up to 40 tons of new weaponry, added to 40 tons that arrived over the past several months, will come from stockpiles held by African militaries. The United States would pay for it, officials said.
Oh, well, THAT'S NICE!
Good thing you have $$$ flying out of your arse, 'murkns!!!
And all that weaponry is going to do is INCREASE the MISERY -- and I'm sure ALL the VIOLENCE will be blamed on the "terrorists."
I gotta catch a boat out of this place:
"Somali pirates release German ship after ransom paid; Freighter taken months ago in Indian Ocean" by Associated Press | August 4, 2009
BERLIN - Somali pirates released a German freighter after a ransom was paid yesterday, nearly four months after the ship was seized in the Indian Ocean, a European Union naval spokesman said.... Pirates in the area have conducted more than 100 attacks this year and are holding about a dozen vessels.
Nope, not that way.
