Somalia: the forgotten victim of the West's worldwide war on Islamic movements

"The Western response was telling. After years of ignoring the plight of the Somalis, the US immediately launched political war on the new government. When all else failed, in December 2006 they encouraged Ethiopia to invade, in support of “president” Abdullahi Yusuf, another warlord. The Americans initially supported the Ethiopians from behind the scenes, and then, once Mogadishu had been captured and success was assured, confirmed their support for the toppling of Somalia’s only popular and legitimate government by launching a series of murderous air raids against villages continuing to resist Ethiopian rule. The puppet government installed by the Ethiopians was granted international recognition, and the fact that many ICU members and other Somalis continued to resist the occupation of their country was presented as evidence of their extremism and their terrorist tendencies, and so as post-facto justification of the US-Ethiopian action."
