Somali Islamists maintain aid ban and deny famine

[union]

by killing people that maybe innocent? Should I go to Minnesota and shoot the mothers of those kids who went to Somalia?

I said "leading Al Shabab members". You're welcome to find Ina Godane's family in Dubai and blow them up.

lol alright, how does killing his wife and kids in Dubai change anything on the ground in Somalia?

He'd be less likely to blow up people's children if he knew his children would be blown up in retaliation.

[Shirib]

^^^ for some reason I doubt that he would be

In fact I think it would be the opposite and he'd blow more things up

Then it would be just sweet revenge.

The UN has a political agenda in Somalia . There is no doubt about this. But if Alshabab has no way of feeding those people then they should let those who can in.

They did bro but under the condition that the UN does not bring in expired food aid or at least buy a good portion of the aid from local farmers. The UN refused as they are contracted to American and other western commercial farmers. That is how the beef between Al Shabab and the UN began few years ago. By the way regions like Bay and Bakool always had aid agencies present and the Al Shabab leadership there has never banned them from there. My uncle works for Care and has been present in Baydhabo and Diinsoor for as long as I can remember.I can't speak for other regions though.

Kill the family members of leading Al Shabab members. That'll teach them.

I agree. An eye for an eye justice is very effective and will work against Godane, Abu Mansur, Dahir Aweys, Dulyadeyn, Afghani and their foreign partners.

abdisamad3,prostitute of al shabab suffering from STD (Shabab Transmitted Disease) we will quarentine your pathetic self.

[nomadicwarlord]

May all Al-Shabaab and their supporters rot in hell. I hope they backtrack on that decision and let aid come to the people.

Al shabaab’s days are numbered, today is not the day to play politics they made a grave mistake, from now on they made clear that they don’t care the lives of people in Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabele regions, today people are dying like flies and they are behaving like this, it is time people of the south declare war on Godane and Saylici’s group, today Alshabaab are not different from Aydiid’s USC group that blocked food Aid from poor people in Bay and Bakool regions in 1992 draughts.

Somali rebels say U.N. food agency still banned, despite pledge

Friday, July 22, 2011

Islamist rebels in Somalia -- who control the parts of the country where famine was declared this week -- have said aid agencies they expelled from those areas last year cannot return, reversing a previous pledge.
The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants imposed a ban on food aid in 2010, which the U.N. and the United States say has worsened the disaster, before appearing to reverse it last week.

The U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) was among several groups ordered out of rebel areas which are now preparing to return.

The United Nations told Reuters it had not heard about any new position from the rebels and planned to take last week's pledge at face value and push ahead with food shipments by air and sea.

Al Shabaab had promised to allow relief agencies with "no hidden agendas" greater access to their territory.

"The so-called aid agencies that were already banned and named are not part of the agencies we free to work in al Shabaab areas," al Shabab spokesman, Ali Mohamud Raghe, told a news conference late on Wednesday in a rebel-held part of capital Mogadishu.

"They had problems with people and had a hidden agenda. We shall also expel any agency that causes problems for Muslim society," he added, urging hungry Somalis to stay in their homes and wait for the rain to come rather than going to foreign-run refugee camps.

Some 10 million people are affected by famine and drought in a region, dubbed the "triangle of death" by local media, that straddles Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.

ARE YOU f-king KIDDDIN ME!

Their subnormal brains can't grasp the current situation. Backward peasants

Where is the so called government of Somalia in all this? If they can't rule more than a few neighborhoods, let alone half the country, then they should step aside.

Take note of where the quotation ends. "Urging hungry Somalis to stay in their homes and wait for the rain" is not a quote. It's from the writer of the article, who can interpret things however they like. You should follow the somali media and listen to interviews, press conferences and what not.

Secondly, my advice for the youth here is to get involved in your country, rather than leaving it to big belly bureaucrats at the UN who have their own political motives.

Good advice bro. A lot of us are already involved.

[BlackVelvet]

Ciil badanaa. Sadly I don't think anyone is surprised.

LMAO what is funny is how these same "gaalo" all across the world are holding charity events on radios, on TV, in the Underground stations. They're all trying to help these people they don't know and have never met. While our own Somali monsters are willing to watch their own fellow countrymen and women die of hunger. What an odd world we live in.

On the bright side, Al Shabab has made is so that an Islamist group will NEVER be able to rule Somalia with any sort of legitimacy.
