(Reuters) - Two loud blasts struck a busy cafe in downtown Djibouti frequented by Westerners on Saturday and at least 10 people were wounded, a Reuters witness said.

 

Police had cordoned off the scene. It was not immediately clear what caused the blasts. The witness said he saw at least 10 people sitting near the area of the cafe, with bloody wounds.

 

Djibouti has the United States' only military base in Africa and is an important ally in the U.S.-led fight against militant Islam.

 

The former French colony's port is also used by foreign navies protecting the Gulf of Aden's shipping lanes, some of the busiest in the world, from Somali pirates.

 

It has also contributed troops to the African Union Mission in Somalia. Other contributing countries, Kenya and Uganda have in the past been hit by gun and bomb attacks by Somalia's al Qaeda-linked Shabaab insurgents.

 

Somali troops and AMISOM, comprising troops from Uganda, Kenya, Burundi and Djibouti, drove al Shabaab out of Somalia's capital Mogadishu in 2011.

I think it's time the world wakes up. Kenya has been striked, Puntland Has been Striked, Djibouti has been striked, But hargeisa hasn't? It's clear as day now their active links and somaliland is the breeding ground for terrorism. We need to change our policies like America did when striked by alqaeda and make us look like the victims of terrorism. Kenya-Puntland-Djibouti-Mogadishu should do what America did form a coalition and fight the war on terror in hargeisa like America did with afghanistan for harboring terrorists. We should use the politics and switch it in our favor and make somaliland be the 'terrorist' state and apart of the axis of evil like afghanistan was for harbouring terrorist alqaeda cells.

 

I think that is the politics that Puntland-Kenya-Djibouti should take and come out with alot of anti terror funding to buy sophiscated weaponry for our armed forces while launching a war on terrorism to clean it out from hargeisa.

Detoore Amiir Godane only attacks the countries that have troops in Somalia, Somaliland has no troops in Somalia do you see the Amiir Attacking Eritrea or Sudan or south Sudan or Oman. Puntland is a region of Somalia but they helped build the SFG the Amisom protected entity so they are a target and there is ashahaado dirir in puntland.. Alshabaah have never hit Galmudug. Djibouti has troops in Somalia so does Kenya Uganda. Somaliland has no troops in Somalia, nor does Somalia meddle in Somalia affairs. And Somaliland security apparatus is very strong and its not just the security of SL , In Somaliland every one is on guard every one is responsible u can never breach SL.
