Disappearing Act in MogadishuPosted on Dec 28, 2006
Despite a vow to fight to the death, Islamist leaders and their troops have mysteriously vanished from the streets of Mogadishu, according to residents there. The Ethiopian army, in support of the powerless transitional government, had driven the Somali fighters back to their stronghold and the nation’s traditional capital after a wave of devastating attacks.

The world is flat, due to the advent of the internet.
Everybody now understands how to conduct a Gorilla War. Never commit to a major action against superior weapons. Conduct terrorist raids from hiding. Operate in small loosely connected groups for added security. Make the enemy expend it’s wealth and resources looking for and killing small targets. stay the course. In time the enemy will lose the will and resources to continue.
So what is the Industrial nations to do? Assure a fair dispersal of resources. Be pro-active in specific locals when extra assistance is needed.
Oh, stop the manufacture and sale of small arms and explosives in all countries. Forget about the Nuclear threat, it’s the AK 47’s stupid!

To Francois,
Who are you referring to when you write f-ing monkeys? The whole situation in the northern regions of Africa is so volatile it’s like another planet almost. Does anyone see any remote parallels with the escalation between ethiopia and somolia and the crimes against humanity being commited between chad and sudan in the darfur region? hmmmmm…let us all be ever-watchful/mindful of the distraction tactics being used/projected by these corporate media war-monger modern day vampires whose thirst for blood is never satisfied. The dark cabal of nations/monarchies who sponsor the global military industrial complex are about to be ensnared in their own web of deceit and discord, all of them busy trying to cover their own asses, desperately trying to negotiate a way out of their dark and empty lives, devoid of beauty, peace and unity. Humanity will do more than just endure these lasta days of diabolical treachery and needless suffering. THere is more than silver lining here, but the biggest silver vein ever revealed! and it’s been right under Humanities nose all this time. Let’s stick together and observe! Humanites true history, kept secret by these same nations/monarchies/theocracies for centuries & millenniumns is about to be revealed! i mean literally, the lid is about to be blown off! The liberation of planet Earth and Humanity (and all Life inside and on the surface) is at hand. We’re already in the twelth hour!
Peace & Inner Strength through Unity!
Love Kavika
