Oil Civil Wars and the US Embassy in Somalia
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2020 3:28 pm
26 years later, Washington is again acting as Somalia's owners, should they?
This is what Washington has done since its famous defeat on Oct, 3rd 1993( Black Hawk Down):
1. It created its own Somali institutions (the 2003 Nairobi government.)
2. It hauled them over and installed it in Mogadishu on the back of Ethiopian tanks.
3. When Ethiopian invasion failed spectacularly in 2012 the Darod traitor bootlicker was replaced with Hawiye bootlicker collaborator.
4. Since ordinary people in Somalia have no one to represent them, Washington's "Anti Terror Somali government" passes itself as the real representative of Somali people.
5. Completing the circle: The much awaited petroleum bill is signed THIS WEEK and conveniently Washington now "resumes" its aid to "anti terror government"
Here is the issue with Washington's pipe dream.
1. There is no authority in Somalia that can sign Somalia's resources to foreigners. There is no legitimate representative of Somali people. There has been Somali elections where somali PEOPLE elected their own government. This makes all deals off and illegitimate.
2. The real power politics in Somalia is still in the hand of real owners of Somalia, the people that stood up to Washington in 1993 and the people that stood up to Ethiopian invasion of Mogadishu. Nothing changed and nothing will ever change.
3. Since all Somali politicians are in bed with Foreign oil dealers, Somalia people will see religious insurgency as the only way to protect their land and religion.
4. Somalia also has 2 million foreign educated citizens that will see through this daylight robbery.
5. Washington's Oil oligarchs will never have the patience to fight with Somali people in showdy protracted war.
