Aid agencies fear Somalia famine - 18 Jul 08

[howie1962]

This is the will of Allah.

Inshallah the Somaliis will die quickly. Don't intefere with the will of Allah

ALLAHU AKBAR

[ibanezrgt220]

Fuck em all. Let them starve. I cldnt give a flying fuck, my fridge ia full of lovely yummy food.....this is Alahs way im affraid. Deal with it fucktards

[gophomaxx]

Without agricultural development the result of increasing numbers of people results in famine. Misdirected aid seems to cause more deaths after they help the population to grow.

[fadumofi]

Insha Allah "God willing" somalia will be stable again.

[fadumofi]

Insha Allah "God willing" somalia will be stable again.

[fadumofi]

please stop hating islam, it's the only thing that is keeping them strong. please also read the quran.before you make up your own lies. many people tried to say alot of bad things about islam, but the reality is that islam is only growing religion in the world. stop hating, islam will always be the religion of peace.

[ScottishCaledonian]

@fadumofi Islam is a religion of hate, prejudice, misogyny, homophobia, racism, intolerance violence and death. You Muslim sare the fucking liars. Your religion is vile and disgusting.

[kingwoopicushion]

Im glad this is happening to them.

[Caabdi2000]

Maybe one day the almighty will put patuso in that situation and then he will realise

[mrjamac]

pastuso 1bc u bastard idoit and u risest mother fuckers daamn shit u asshole shame of u dont anuse our good religon u mother fucker jude man stop abusing

[pastuso1bc]

Islam is like a public toilet - you can piss in it, you can shit in it, you can wipe your ass in it, you can even masturbate in it - but eventually you have to leave because of the stomach wrenching stink of asshole, shit and piss.

Allah is the asshole.

Mohammed is the shit coming out of the asshole.

The koran is the toilet paper you use to wipe the asshole.

So dont forget to keep your dirty muslim asshole clean.

[moryan10]

@pastuso1bc WOW, thats all you got! Islam will Always shit in your face... you acting hard on youtube videos comments but reality, you are punk that is scared of islam... i been fucking canadian pussy since your mamma tested my dick and trust me, your fat sis will get chocked on my fat ass dick while she sucks,,, Halla!!!

[pastuso1bc]

Let them starve.

It would cleanse the gene pool.

[SmithGurl1208]

How heartless can you get? O.o To let someone starve, REAGARDLESS of genes, is a true sign of inhumanity.

[pastuso1bc]

Why should we not be heartless? And you as a woman, should even be more heartless.

Islamic law would allow them to take you as a sex slave.

Given the chance, they would do it in a heartbeat.

And for an infidel like me, they would behead me in a heartbeat as well. Islamic law requires that too.

Let the wealthy Saudis look after their fellow muslims.

[SmithGurl1208]

Many of the women did not choose to be born there, though. They have to live their lives under oppressive rules; should we let them continually suffer, because of our closemindedness?

Yes, I would upset if I had to live under Islamic law; but that would only serve me to want to help those people more.

Hate added on to hate only leads to more...well, hate. If we stop to reach out with help, maybe we can change things without letting helpless people starve.

But good points, though. :)

[pastuso1bc]

First of all they would have to leave Islam.

The koran teaches them that rape is OK. (verse 4-24). Actually, the tasfirs of that same verse also says that all muslim women are whores (I would never say that!!).

Verse 7-166 of koran teaches hate and verse 2-178 teaches the killing of innocents.

Sorry...I am just not charitable to people who want me dead.

[SmithGurl1208]

Oh, I didn't know that. O.o

How horrible, I think.

[pastuso1bc]

Muslims like to brag about how their prophet married widows.

One such widow was Safiyah.

Muhammad made her a widow by murdering her father, brother & husband.

[bricardiff1969]

fuck em let them dye the useless breed of animals,use them as tooth picks,lazy fuckers.

bring bob geldof in he,ll smack there bums and tell them off,why help them when they don,t want help...

[tuomo992]

Somalia is true shit _DD

[dominicjm]

awesome.

[mahdi215]

lproth please go to sleep man another lost soul who watches fox news and thinks he knows everything

[pastuso1bc]

A muslim is a retard who reads the koran and thinks that shithead allah is real.

[Afgooyee]

Mahdi215 brother why r u lying since when somalia was ok? the civil war in somalia started in 1991 soon the somalis overthrown siyad barre they divided themselves into many different clans and started killing each other. there were no AMERICANS and ETHIOPIANS involved. american came in 1993 but they failed Ethios came to somalia at the end of 2006. and since when muslim brother came to our rescue? dont saudi arabia send u home when they catch u in their land? there is NO muslim bros who help us

[lproth]

how many somalis have starved to death since November? what have you done about it?

[mahdi215]

somalia was always ok then came these white mafuckers who think they know everything.white

mafuckers gave guns to my ppl and turn brother in to enemies.now they support warlords and other countries who want to wipe out our ppl.

listen white mafuckers leave us to our muslim

brothers who clean our streets of all unwanted things and made life safe in our country.get the fuck out of our country.look at these ppl

we dont want u in our land get the fuck out and stay out damp asses.

[lproth]

why are you in the US?

[BORICUAPAPI74]

It gets me upset when people try to help them with food and medical supplies and these rebels gets involved and shoot the innocent, and of course ignorant people blame the U.S. for it. We tried doing it in 92 with Operation Restore Hope but failed because of these rebel fanatics.

[billymays2]

to see the sufferation just sickens me

[VOICE113]

THIS HUMANITARIAN SITUATION WAS CREATED BY THE WEST AND ITS STOOGES...

I'll Tell you that The HORN of Africa and the wars their will not end any time Soon NOT EVEN if the SOMALI CIVIL WAR IS OVER...

REMEMBER the British COLONIALISTS GAVE HALF of Somalia to Ethiopia-KENYA and even Yemen(SOCOTRA ISLANDS) SO EVEN IF SOMALIA IS PACIFIED THE WAR FOR ABSOLUTE LIBERATION OF SOMALI TERRITORIES WILL GO ON UNTIL IT IS WON

LONG LIVE SOMALIA>>>LONG LIVE SOMALIWAYNE!

[VOICE113]

What the FUCK you people DON'T get it do you

Somalia Was in PEACE AFTER 20 YEARS of war that YES did Involve Killing of US forces

THAT PEACE was destroyed by Allied Christian RULERS Because that Peace Was MAde Possible BY an ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT

The ICU wasn't only HAWIYA there were and still are ALOT of MAREEHAAN

REMEMBER that the Mareehan didn't fight the ICU when they came to KISMAYO

POINT IS PEOPLE WERE BEING UNITED PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT IN THIS CIVIL WAR AND THEY DESTROYED THAT UNITY&PEACE

[nicholas9999]

voice: you can talk until you're blue in the face, it's like they can't get it thru their heads that the West is largely responsible for what is going on there.

[BORICUAPAPI74]

Somalia has been suffering way b4 92, learn some more history in the 1940's Italy, and the U.K. fought for control in Somalia. In the 70's the WSLF backed by the SNA invaded Ethiopia, and when Russia wouldn't support Somalia and pledged support to Ethiopia with arms and troops Somalia retreated.

[BORICUAPAPI74]

The U.S. became involved in 77 when Somalia asked 4 help, and after Ethiopia invaded Somalia in 82 the U.S. helped Somalia defend itself. So these 2 countries has had issues way b4 so don't come here and blame the U.S. for Somalia being the way it is.

[nicholas9999]

boricu: "don't come here and blame the U.S. for Somalia being the way it is" - I'm willing to say that, in the past, we simply didn't know any better as to helping other nations. We were more bunglers than evil-doers. However, in this more recent post-9/11 case, the West is definitely involved in making things horribly worse for Somali civilians.

[Scorpio598]

This is such a tragedy. It's a shame that the last time we tried to aid them, they dragged our soldiers bodies through the streets. Also, I wonder why the Arab world is charged will providing them with food? One only needs to look at a map to ask this question. Why is the task assigned to us??? Remember the old adage "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"??? This implies that if you bite that hand, that hand my not put a high priority on feeding you anymore...

[nicholas9999]

scorp: a check into the history of the 92 event will reveal that we entirely mishandled the thing from start to finish. To see how things might be handled better, refer to Petraeus' new counterinsurgency manual, and see his work with Sunni tribal leaders. We were just too damn clever in 92 and thought we couldn't work with clan leaders. The result was the horrible blackhawk down event.

[pandixon]

The world food programme is a waste of time. think eritrea: the world food programme reduced the prices of food so much during famine times that the farmers went bankrupt trying to keep up with the competition, causing massive future problems. The result? Eritrea banned it from ever coming back. What credibility does the WFP have if it backs out in trouble, and causes problems if it all works smoothly?

[gaajo99]

Let them f*cking die! IF U FEED THEM THEY WILL PICK-UP THEIR GUNS AND FIGHT OTHER TRIBES. Maybe death is better for them and the future of somalia. f*ck the big clans!

[VOICE113]

THe Somalis Didn't need Ethipians and a Whole new Government when the USA and UK overthrew their government in CHRISTMAS EVE OF 2006...JUST because they were ISLAMIC that was the Problem their Religion!!

What somali GOV do they expect will help the somalis now THE one they in stored and by doing so caused this war??the one, full of the Warlords and criminals who started the CIVIL war the ones who were defeated by the ICU 2005 when they were being backed up by the CIA for "special Interests"??

[VOICE113]

NOT AFRICA'S WoRST because if it was it would be worser than DARFUR we be hearing from all the time??NOOO DARFUR is heard because the USA has

"interests" their LIKE Sudanese OIL and Christianity to be Saved!!

IF it is Africa's worst Humanitarian crisis created By USA&UK-Backed Ethiopian Army (100 Thousand of them) and of course the great Government installed their now...FULL of WARLORDS WHO STARTED THE CIVIL war!! JUST IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE

ISLMIC GOV that brought peace after 20 yrs of WAR

[TPS996]

Who the fuck cares about muslims? Fuck allah fuck islam

[gaajo99]

Wow. Angry Greek eh. I see u in Toronto so am I. are u a member of TPS? If u don't like Muslims join the Canadian army and fight Muslims in Afghanistan. Other than that, shut the F*ck-up Cracker boy! Yeah come roll with 31 division if u man enough u racist piece of sh*t.

[nicholas9999]

TPS: The usual racist sh*thead.

[laborgrunt]

I hate Qabilism!!!!!!!

[DamallaX]

They have been killing aid workers, doctors and important peoples since 1992. Nothing new.

[DamallaX]

Ikran, Hawiye is the problem in Somalia.

[laborgrunt]

No, qabilism is the problem.

[Dyamba19]

It's not Islam, it's a certain strain of Islam. Somalians were always muslim, they weren't radical or militant wahhabi influenced muslims until quite recently. And that destructive strain of Islam was able to become powerful because of the tribalism and warlordism in Somalia. Religion offers a way to unify people and it did in Somalia. The problem is it's a crazy and violent religious belief and it makes people say ridiculous stuff like Ethiopia and the west are only out to hurt Somalians.

[ikran2007]

to support the tfg and the ethiopia/west is the crazy thing to do.so many somali don't care for other somalis because they don't belong to their clan,thats sad.

[laborgrunt]

Im as liberal as they come, even by western standards. For example I support gay marriage rights in the US, btw im straight.

Also militant Taliban like Islam freaks me the hell out.

With that said, Ethiopia's power circles have always been out to screw over Somalia since the days of Menilik. Now the genocidal maniac, Zenawi has been given an open door into the heart of Somalia, by the TFG aka Tigray Fraud Gov't and the dog that runs it, AY.

[Downfacingdog]

Who the fuck cares about you, douchebag! Liberalism is a mental disorder, seek psyciatric help immediatly.

[Dyamba19]

You hate liberals, some people here hate Muslims, some Muslims here hate Ethiopia, you all should realize what you have in common. What you have in common is how dumb and bigoted you all sound when you start making broad brush bigoted statements about other people. You should all be better then that.

[nicholas9999]

down: Um, you're the one who sounds like he needs to get some help.

[Dyamba19]

First off I don't pretend to know anything about Ethiopia's internal politics. Secondly I don't need to, Ethiopia gains nothing by just killing. It might kill hundreds of Somalians a day, that's not the point though. Somalia was a regional rival to Ethiopia, now it's a failed state.That doesn't make it harmless, it means it poses a different challenge like piracy and terrorism. Somalia is a situation that effects the whole word and is of course going to effect it's neighbors even more.

[Downfacingdog]

Get back to us people who should know better when you come down off of your medication. I hope things are working for you.

[Dyamba19]

Well that was original. Did you respond to me just to display your wit or do you have a problem with what I said? Are you for painting people with a broad brush?

[Downfacingdog]

When the shoe fits you put it on. No wit.

[nicholas9999]

dyamba: Apparently, prior to the invasion of somalia by the U.S.-backed Ethiopians, Somalia was being governed by the Islamic Courts Union. Under the ICU, Somalia enjoyed about 6 - 8 months of peace and stability.

[Dyamba19]

I wish the stability of their country lasted forever. But since order was kept by militant religious extremist group, the order isn't going to last.

[nicholas9999]

dyamba: Apparently, the ICU was not particularly extremist, but was more interested in providing health care and security in the region. I can't find anything that talks about ill-treatment of the people, altho' yes, it rules by sharia law thru a system of courts (a kritocracy).

[abdi6734]

Ethiopia will pay for this.

[mahdi215]

we somali's only have god may allah see us through this dark error of our nation amiin.

we shall never let ETHIOPIA,AMERICA,ARABS AND TFG dogs HAVE THEY WAY WITH OUR COUNTRY

EVEN IF IT MEANS DEATH INSHA ALLLAH,ALLAHU AKBER.

[Ottman2007]

What is the House of Saud doing,nothing because there bunch of pigs!

Wahabbi(British found sect!)

[ikran2007]

nothing like always.keep waching in the pain of other muslim. when we are all gone i wonder what will they do.

[ikran2007]

this is for ottman2007

[tebS23]

Man, if some of the world leaders keep sitting on their asses, the Somali population is going to tear themselfs apart in mass hunger! They need to act now!

[BORICUAPAPI74]

HELLOOOO!!!! The U.S. sent troops to Somalia in 92 and look what happened.

[nicholas9999]

boric: HELLOOOO. Has it ever in your whole entire life occurred to you to think outside the constant propaganda you are fed? WE BUNGLED THE MISSION BY FAILING TO TALK WITH THE WARLORDS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. If you want to know how it would be handled now, go read Petraeus' new counterinsurgency manual (the 28 articles). You know, like his folks working with Sunni tribal leaders. Quit blaming the Somalis.

[Makhiirstate]

Goodness why the hell are they blocking food from helpless people? i hate hawiya people day by day bloody animals...

[ikran2007]

don't hate hawiya clan but look what is happening to somalians in ogedan, the ethiopians are repeating the same thing in somalia, with the help of warlords. I am not a hawiya/marehan but warsengale.

[EsotericDesi]

Very sad... Islam is responsible for destruction of Somalia... It was a very self-sufficient, indepenedent, moderate, though tribal country. Radical Islam came in from Middle East and destroyed everything.

[ikran2007]

don't blame islam.this done by the gov from the west who support ethiopia/warlords to kill innocent somalis. when the somali people tried to manage their country affairs for the first time but ethiopian gov didn't like that so they called up their warlord/us/eu on the banner called war on terror to do what they liked causing destruction, displacing, killing, and raping innocent somali women with support from us/eu countrys.

[ikran2007]

if ethiopia want to help somalis they need to star with the one living in ethiopia.the only thing the want is to control and cause more detruction on to somali ppl.

[ikran2007]

history shows what ethiopia wants and the west supports ethiopia not because they are better than the somalians but because of faith and having the same agenda.

[Xalimotologist]

People who speak out of ignorance should not be allowed to speak.

Somalis are responsible for the destruction of Somalia. Islam is not to blame!

[EsotericDesi]

Sire, allowing everyone to speak is what "DEMOCRACY" is... Something I'm now confident you cannot spell.

[nicholas9999]

xalim: Somalia is being attacked by ethiopia, so I don't understand your statement.

[Yozzev10]

Esotoric unfortunetely you niether understand Islam or Somalia. Before you throw judgment, I advise you to read the history of Somalia. Then, after a learning you are free to express your opinion

[nicholas9999]

esoteric: Actually, Somalia had about 6 - 8 months of excellent under the Islamic Courts council. Then it was attacked by the Ethiopians.

[lproth]

Nicholas, it was the peace of the gun only. that is not peace. "go read Petraeus' new counterinsurgency manual (the 28 articles)" I think you need to reread it yourself. I am currently trianing to inforce it. You are reading way to much in to it.

[nicholas9999]

lproth: The ICC had (or has) the people behind them. The ICC provided many services, among them immediately opening the airport when they took control of Mogadishu. In fact, the U.S. backed the warlords and the ICC was able to defeat them. The purpose of the Ethiopians killing so many Somalis, and destabilizing the country, is the U.S. belief that 3 al-Qaeda people are hiding in Somalia. It is U.S. aggression against defenseless people - which is why there is a virtual news blackout about it.

[ibnqhazzi]

thank you soo much for that comment, you surely know what you are talking about, i hope more western people will be informed like you

[nicholas9999]

lproth: (2) If you are interested, search youtube for: cia rendition in the horn of africa . . . innocents being rounded up in Africa, etc., renditioned, etc.

[lproth]

I don't have to go to youtube. But I will check it out. I have people I can ask, that are or were involved. We do not have the intelligence resources to harass innocents. Yes knowledge and associations makes you guilty!

[nicholas9999]

lproth: The entire point of the exercise is that there is an information black-out about the activities of the U.S. in Africa. It is likely the only place you're going to hear anything of dissent or counter to your views is outside your normal circle. You say, "knowledge and associations make you guilty" - that's true only in a world we don't want. The ideals of the enlightenment, and all the bases for our Constitution, run counter to your message of repression, fascism, no due process.

[lproth]

We are fighting people whose ideals come from the early Middle Ages but are using 21st century weapon and tactics. Case in point is the fact that when we raid a terrorist safe house we find our own counter insurgency manuals being studied and used against us. Freedom of speech (information) being used to kill Americans. Or due process being used as propaganda tool, how about Equal protection out side our borders. The Constitution ends at our borders, ask all the Americans in foreign jails.

[nicholas9999]

lproth: Your statement about "Middle Ages" identifies you instantly as anti-Muslim. Your comments have no legitimacy whatsoever. You are repeating the same old lies from Vietnam and Iraq. It never seems to occur to you guys that it might be appropriate to allow people to live their own lives as they wish.

[wb678]

Fuck you Ethiopia you AIDS-ridden monkey nation.

God Bless The Somali Resistance!

[gaajo99]

u mean the hawiye resistance!

[scorpiooooooh]

Wh does AJ fail to mention who is reponsbe for the attacks on food aid workers? Who carried out the attacks, who in their right minds would attack a charitable orginization feeding people at risk of starving to death. Who ever it was most likely wants the Somalis to suffer and perish. Who is against the Somali govt and the Somali people?

[nicholas9999]

scorp: the u.s. gov't and its stooge, the ethiopian gov't.
