Qatar: Why Somalia isn't Iraq

Qatar-based blogger Abdurahman Warsame explains why Somalia isn't like Iraq.
“There has been bomb attacks in Mogadishu since the city fell to the Transitional Government. A number of civilians were killed in various attacks, the prime minister Ali Ghedi and Mayor of Mogadishu, former warlord Mohamed Dheere, have both survived roadside bombs and four Ugandan soldiers where killed. Is this a repeat of Iraq? it started with foreign troops, small-scale attacks and ended up in the chaos we witness today. Well, luckily Somalia isn't Iraq,” he writes.

    One may ask, why is it that the so called TFG can’t get a mandate from their people? The answer is obviously clear. Somali people will resist Ethiopian occupation with their puppets. This is not a govt of our choosing but an evil thing designed by Ethiopian govt on our people. Let them know it, that their evil intentions will come to naught. Somalis will come out of this stronger and united.
