While most of the world is focused on the Middle East, open war between
Somalia and Ethiopia, an equally significant and parallel event, has been bumped
from the headlines entirely. Another nation is in the process of being invaded
and occupied, with US approval, based on the “war on terrorism”
pretext.
As previously
warned, resource-rich Somalia, a key geostrategic prize on the Horn of Africa,
has been set up to fall. Mogadishu has been brimming with secular militias and
death squads that the Bush administration has openly backed and guided. Each
side has (correctly) accused the other of connections to “al-Qaeda.”
Somalia’s top Islamic leader, Shiekh Hassan Dahir Aweys is accusing
the US of having ties to Al-Qaeda. (He’s right.) Rest assured, the Bush
administration and the CIA are playing
all sides.
Just as Israel is doing the Bush administration’s dirtiest work in the
Middle East, US-allied Ethiopia conveniently serves as a US surrogate going
into Somalia. Also, as is the case in the Middle East, the expansion and escalation
of the conflict may provide another convenient opportunity for outside military
intervention.
Against worsening realities of world energy depletion (Peak Oil and Gas) and
a teetering world economy, the Bush administration is desperate to pull off
an end run, simultaneously destabilizing four geostrategic theaters (Middle
East, Central Asia, Africa, Asia-Pacific). This is nuclear brinksmanship on
an unprecedented scale.
