the positive side of the attack; govt to get more world supp

Postby sahal80 » Thu Jun 20, 2013 6:56 am

More world political support.

Mogadisho is the most beautiful and the biggest somali town, it even has a seaside hotels with a blue swimming pools so one qarax doesn't reach the whole city who is very save.

two of the three foreingers that have been killed were south africans so I think some thing has to do with this too.

The positive side of the attack is that the govt will get more world political support.
"The Security Council underlines that terrorist acts in Somalia will not lessen the Council's resolve to support Somalia's transition to peace and stability," said Grant. "Furthermore, the members of the Security Council reiterate their willingness to take action against those whose behavior threatens peace, stability or security of Somalia."
UN envoy to Somalia, Nicholas Kay, who was not hurt in the attack, told the BBC the world body would continue its mission in helping Somalia build peace and development.

He said Somalia had "turned a corner" after decades of conflict, and al-Shabab attacks like the one of Wednesday were "acts of desperation".

"At this stage our firm intent is to stick to the mission and not abandon Somalia," he said.
The raid was also condemned by the 15-member UN Security Council, which reiterated its "determination to combat all forms of terrorism".

The UN Security Council on Wednesday voiced its outrage by the attack on a UN compound in Mogadishu, Somalia, which killed at least 15 people.

Mark Lyall Grant, the permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the UN who holds the rotating council presidency for June, said in a statement that the members of the Security Council reiterate their determination to combat all forms of terrorism..

"Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivation, wherever and whenever and by whomsoever committed," Grant said.

Suicide bombers attacked the UN's office in Mogadishu on Wednesday, leaving at least 15 people dead, including eight working for the UN. The al-Qaida linked militant Al-Shabaab group said it was behind the assault.

In the statement, the Council members extended their condolences to the victims and their families, as well as to the people and the government of Somalia, and underlined the support for all UN personnel working to bring peace, stability and prosperity to the Somali people.

Meanwhile, the Council reminded states that they must ensure that measures taken to combat terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law, Grant said.

"The Security Council underlines that terrorist acts in Somalia will not lessen the Council's resolve to support Somalia's transition to peace and stability," said Grant. "Furthermore, the members of the Security Council reiterate their willingness to take action against those whose behavior threatens peace, stability or security of Somalia."

UN envoy to Somalia, Nicholas Kay, who was not hurt in the attack, told the BBC the world body would continue its mission in helping Somalia build peace and development.

He said Somalia had "turned a corner" after decades of conflict, and al-Shabab attacks like the one of Wednesday were "acts of desperation".

"At this stage our firm intent is to stick to the mission and not abandon Somalia," he said.

He added that one UNDP international staff member, three contractors working for a South African company and four Somali guards were killed in the attack.

All seven al-Shabab gunmen died in the raid and officials said pro-government forces later secured the compound.

The UN has only recently expanded its operations in Mogadishu after years when its Somalia mission was based in neighbouring Kenya because of security fears.

The UNDP office is next to the heavily fortified airport in southern Mogadishu.

Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid praised the speed of the security forces' response.

"Somali and Amisom security forces responded immediately to the situation after the initial explosion and have brought the situation under control. Sadly we must wait to hear the full details and confirmation of any casualties," he said in a statement.

"All our thoughts and prayers are with our UN colleagues today. But al-Shabab will not derail the peace process. They will not stop our recovery. Violence will not win."

Al-Shabab, which had been in control of parts of Mogadishu for more than two years, withdrew in August 2011 under pressure from pro-government forces, but continues to launch occasional suicide attacks in the city.

It has also been pushed out of other cities, but still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside in central and southern Somalia.

The improving security situation has prompted the return of Somalis from the diaspora and allowed UN agencies and foreign embassies to return to the country.

Some 18,000 AU troops are in the country supporting the government of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud who was elected by MPs last September.

His administration is the first one in more than two decades to be recognised by the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

theres nothing positive about terrorism in any way

the govt should focus on getting support from all its people within the borders of real somalia (ex italian colony) first rather than the world which should come later.
why? because at this mo, the fed govt in xamar is acting no more than a clan admin on a par with punaniland and jumboland

walee konfurian minds work in a mysterious ways :lol:.
Who would ever contemplate any positive thing out of the killing of innocent civilians?
In your logic more suicide attacks is good since it will attract more international support to your direction!!

:lol: :lol: exactly, how can anyone in their right mind see anything positive come out from terrorist attacks. from a logical point of view, all the support from the world to the somalian people cannot be enjoyed by the locals within the midst of getting their heads blown off.

this is proof that despite sharing the same language, ethnicity and religion, the peoples of somaliland and somalia are completely different due to more important factors such as somalilanders are more politically and religiously moderate than somalians, we dont suffer from clanism to the extent they do, we know how to reconcile ourselves but somalians cant do that, we respect democracy and pluralism but not them and life in somaliland is more civic minded and nation orientated yet somalia is sectarian minded and clan orientated

basically we are nice and treat others with respect but they are xaasid/horrible and dont even respect their own relatives let alone anyone else :lol:

Al shabaab card works only for the govt, it will hurt the rest because they are againist the govt.

To take action goes for warlords and spoilers.

Why are they backing xamar conferences for dib uheshiisiin its because al shabaab may take advantage of the "conflict" :D

This is how you can get international political support

Xamar is ruled now by a generations with wide political horizon, has a strategic centers of think tank, concern groups...

How do the algerian govt was able to convince its people to stop supporting the terrorism, an ex general has the answer
