General Duke Posted May 19, 2006 US restates interests in Somalia TERROR: The US wants the African nation stabilized to counter regional terrorism, though Washington's role in the current conflict is raising some awkward questions The White House on Wednesday expressed its commitment to working with "regional and international partners" in Somalia to establish a functioning central government, and to prevent Islamic extremism from taking root there. "The US strongly supports the transitional federal institutions in Somalia, because they are trying to reestablish a functioning central government within Somalia that can bring the Somali people out of the period of civil conflict," White House spokesman Tony Snow said at a press conference. Snow said that Washington has long been concerned that ongoing unrest could turn lawless Somalia into a haven for terrorists. "You've got instability in Somalia right now, and there is concern about the presence of foreign terrorists, particularly al-Qaeda, within Somalia," Snow told reporters. "In an environment of instability, as we've seen in the past, al-Qaeda may take root, and we want to make sure that al-Qaeda does not in fact establish a beachhead in Somalia," he said. "These are problems that we've seen in other ungoverned regions in the past. The terrorists are going to seek to take advantage of the environment and use that kind of chaos in order to put together camps and therefore mount operations around the world," the spokesman added. "We will continue to work with regional and international partners wherever we can to crack down on terrorism and also to try to prevent its rising," Snow said.
