Cawar, there is confirmed uranium there but there is no evidence that it is being supplied anywhere. When it comes to uranium, the Iranians can get that from anywhere. Somalia has other bigger strategic importance than that.
About the fighters, one thing I do know is that they lied about Ceyrow fighting in Afghanistan. The young man never even went to Afghanistan, and if they lied about him, they are lying about this too. It is however true that mujahideen fighters and martyrs are compensated for their sacrifices and last case I heard the figure was about 20,000, but I guess 30,000 is also conceivable.
$2000 is the amount being paid to the families of the Somali mujahideen that died in the battle against the warlords. Hopefully the figure will rise. But anyway, with the Islamic system IÂ’m sure any widows and orphans left behind will be well taken care off.
The UIC does not need weapons from any country. There is a free market out there when it comes down to it and they have plenty of rich individuals supporting them plus they have enough income from huge resources in the richest land in Somalia.
