I guess it's the idea that if u conquer mogadishu you conquer somalia. which is stupid. The city has gone to hell -- it's far easier to establish the capital somewhere where government officials aren't spending 80% of their time dodging bullets. I say barawa since it has so much history. can you imagine ? the somali government officially announces barawa as the new capital, the international community recognizes it as the capital, capital starts flowing into the place....mogadishu would become a shanny town and those douche bags running around there would become irrelevant
nevermind about barawa. just somewhere else other than mogadishu.
That's what I thought.
