DigibAc Posted January 22, 2007 Why does the TFG need foreign troops (Ethiopian or AU) in the country? Why can’t the TFG assert control in the trouble regions on their own the same way that the ICU did? I would really like to hear from the people that supporter foreign troops in Somalia. Thanks for your comments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ebyan Posted January 22, 2007 Why did the ICU bring foreign Jihadists into Somalia? Why are they so hell-bent on turning Somalia into another Afghanistan/Iraq? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted January 22, 2007 Originally posted by DigiTalbAct3ria: Why does the TFG need foreign troops (Ethiopian or AU) in the country? To impose an unpopular (even reviled) regime, the TFG, on the people while chasing away that which came from the people. Why can’t the TFG assert control in the trouble regions on their own the same way that the ICU did? They can't. No one wants them. The only way they can stay in power is through the barrel of an Ethiopian gun. Once that goes home, they'll be ousted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taako Man Posted January 22, 2007 DigiTalbAct3ria The TFG has one thing the ICU doesn't. They belong to a wide array of clans. Many in mogadishu are from one clan and especially those in the south xamar feel that a government is one led by a man from Puntland who is trying to exact revenge. Do you think the ICU could walk into Bossaso or Hargeisa without feeling clan tension? That is similar to what the TFG is facing. However many people from THE TFG are also from the "XAMAR CLANS". Here is a good insight to the situation . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted January 22, 2007 The FT troops are needed to help secure volitile parts of the country while the FG armed forces are being build up from scratch. A national armed forces comprising all the cross sections of Somali society. These troops will stay only for a temporary period of time. They will with the recruiting, training and equiping the new national armed forces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DigibAc Posted January 29, 2007 We need to solve our problems among ourselves. For one party to go and get foreigners to fight along side them against another Somalia group will only create more problems. Don't forget what happened the last time foreign troops entered Somalia and the crimes they committed. (Warning: disturbing crimes of the foreigners against Somalia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_Affair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted January 29, 2007 ^^^You ask so many question and ignore the answers given. The TFG is a broad based government, which is trying to build national army made up of all clans For example the police force of Mogadishu are locas and not from anther region. Thus the foreign troops will help the TFG with security, training and so on. The last time foreign troops came there was no government and they did not have a political solution to the proble. This time the country has a national government that will lead the AU troops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
