The Issue of Foreign Fighters in Somalia

[Meiji]

By now it is a fact that BOTH sides deploy foreign fighters to assist them in their campaign for political power.

 

My Question to all sane Somalis is:

 

- Are the foreign fighters both deploy any different?

 

On one hand we have the extremists who are affiliated to Al Qaida and proudly defend their links to that international organization. Besides them are the old school Al itixiad group (Xisbi islam) who receives armaments and financial support from Eritrea and other regional/global groups (Libya, Saudi etc). The Xisbi Islam never denied their links to Eritrea nor the support they have from Arab world.

 

 

On the other hand we have the socalled Islamic government which is created in a foreign country and is heavily controlled by foreign powers (Western powers).

 

Both sides have foreign fighters to aid them in their campaign, yet both accuse each other of bringing foreign fighters to Somalia.

 

Accusations made by both camps:

 

- The extremists accuse the foreign-created regime of bringing AMISOM (''gaalo'') to Somalia and that the regime is a puppet of foreign powers.

 

- The foreign-created regime accuses the extremists of bringing international jihadi fighters to Somalia and that the group is linked to Al Qaida.

 

 

Excuses used by both camps:

 

- The extremists call the foreign fighters they have brought to Somalia: ''muslim brothers who want to help us''

 

- The foreign-created regime call the foreign fighters they have brought to Somalia: ''peacekeepers who want to assist Somalia''.

 

 

Now, dear public of SOL:

 

Are both camps not deploying foreign fighters?

 

Are both camps not linked to foreign actors that are waging their proxy war in Somalia?

 

Are both camps not causing tremendous bloodshed to thousands of Somali civlians?

 

Are both camps not waging a bloody war to gain political power, forget the fancy intentions they use to cover the underlying fact: bloodthirsty campaign to attain political power.

 

 

You be the Judge!

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

There are no defenders, nor advocates, either. As a judge, I have to default the case.

[rudy-Diiriye]

May the defendants plz rise! says the judge.

Neither al shabaab nor tfg defendants stood up. Some how, behind them were the Somaliland and Puntland ministers and they stood up!!

[Meiji]

The reason why none of the Alshabab and TFG supporters defended their side is because of the fact that they KNOW that BOTH camps are hypocrites and are engaged in a bitter struggle for political power.

 

BOTH do not care for the Somali nation nor for the future of Somalia as an independent and prosperous country.

 

They have BOTH brought in NON-SOMALI fighters to SOMALIA which has led to SOMALI civilians to be displaced and massacred.

 

Should they be held accountable for this NATIONAL TREASON?

 

They should, since they are no different than the previous widely despised warlords in Somalia.

 

Insha allah, they will end up like the previous warlords in Somalia: dustpin of history.

[Fabregas]

What foreign fighters are you talking about: the Somalilanders and Puntlanders?

 

[Meiji]

Those from Pakistan, Afganistan, Arab World.

 

 

PS: ''Somaliland'' is still part of Somalia. So stop dreaming, you are a Somali citizen of SOMALIA.

According to him anyone from Somaliland and Puntland shouldn't be fighting in Xamar.
