I am not talking about who triggered the conflict of warlords and UIC. I am sure the US triggered it since they offered hunderds of thousands dollars to the warlords to step up the exportation and harrasing of religious men. Perhaps they were already carefully following the activities of religious groups inside Somalia since 2001, and wanted to see how far the religious groups evolved by using the warlords to provoke them into a war? Sounds plausible.
Anyways,
I was talking about the actions UIC took after they took power in Mogadishu: the rapid expansion, the hard language, the hasty organisation, no compromise with any group etc etc. No sane political organisation intent on conquering political power in a country will talk a language of force, while the odds are staked against it. Instead the movement searches for compromise with whoever can be instrumental.
PS: remember that they were yelling words like ''Jihad'' as soon as they took over Mogadishu when the whole world was tuned into the events in Somalia. Around June 2006.
