give them a paycut and see how patriotic and committed they are. they are mercenaries and nothing else, anyone who believes otherwise is naive at best and an idiot at worst.

Dhilooyinka maxa ka faxalsan ? maxayna u bixiyaan lacagtooda ? ceebta ayay ku asturtaan o , waxay is yidhahdaan " at least , I am helping somebody else "

Tani waa la mid > waxay ku odhanaysa , " de .. my people ba ku nool waxay ina siiyan Kenya iyo waddamadan kale , marka iyaga ayaan iska raacaya "
Uganda iyo Burundi , African Union baa soo dirtay oo mandate bay ku socdaan. Kenyaatiga aad futada u dhigato , waxa adiga kula mid ah bay sida ay u wasayeen dadkoodi ba ka reebeen , isku mid ma'aha .
Xalaasha iyo xaaraantu way inoo kala muuqata anaga dhilloyahey e , ka soo hadh dhagaxdan aad u dhiganayso , shiidh fowqal shiidh!

These armies have terrible human rights records at home. Uganda can't even defeat their AlShabaab the LRA for 20 plus years and its going to pacify Somalia

They are American proxies and this has been reported endlessly by neutral American sources.AMISOM is an extension of American foreign policy, except their soldiers are too valuable to be wasted in Somalia, so they use Africans instead. American foreign policy is not after assets but its only concerned about security, something it thinks alShabaab threatens. You are fooling yourself if you think they have autonomy over their decisions.

Kenya is pursuing its own territorial ambitions in Somalia, and the current kidnappings that they are using as an excuse is a fake charge which they have most likely orchestrated. How is it possible that the Kenyan Government--with help of European oil conglamerates-- is lobbying every international organization in the world to limit the Somali coast to 12 miles while at the same time claiming to help the Somali government in defeating Al-Shabaab? The intention of Kenya is clear: it wants to create a regional Somali administration in Jubbaland that will carry on Kenya's biddings. It will also most likely want this regional administration to declare independence and/or eventually sign a union with Kenya. Unless we want to look the other way, Kenya's intentions are not hidden from any one

In 2004 when the Elderot conference ended, Uganda and Nigeria offered their troops to help the newly formed TFG. It was the permanent members of the UN Security council who blocked the efforts of these two countries. In 2007, those permanent member of the UNSC brought Uganda and Burundi troops after the Ethiopian invasion.

If there is any genuine effort behind the AMISOM forces in Somalia, how it is possible that those forces who are behind them cannot help form, train, equip, and mentor two to three Somali army divisions who can easily bring Al-Shabaab to its knees? How it is possible the same forces who are behind AMISOM did not heed the call from IGAD to blockade all ports (both sea and air) that Al-Shabaab controls?

Don't be fooled, there is no genuine effort behind the arrival of these African forces into Somalia. They are only there to guarantee the strategic objectives (Allah knows what they are) of their backers. I would not be suprised if these powers are also bankrolling Al-Shabaab.

You're losing it, buddy.

I second that.

Kenyas designs on Somalia is well known and the illegal occupation of NFD and the wagalla massacre is a historical testament of their hostile act against Somalis, but none of us can really apply the same for the other two nations. I recall the concerns Museveni had for Somalia were genuine, but they could have hidden intentions.

whoever came up with the term " African bootyscratcher" must have had Peter Voltage Kabunidugu in mind.

[Uganda]

Thank you.

I have uncles and other family members who went to help Somalia.

We want Somalia to be a peaceful vacation place all Africans can visit with no worries.
