Just last week, bombs killed two lawmakers, the countrys security minister, the police commander of Mogadishu and nearly two dozen civilians. We speak to Somali American writer and human rights activist Sadia Ali Aden. [includes rush transcript]

[StraightouttaSomalia]

Kenya is not an enemy as long as they stay on their side of the border..if they cross like the ethiopians..then you are our enemy...as u can see we havnt bombed or attacked kenya yet...its common sense...stay in ur place and we stay in our place...if u ignore it den u will suffer.....Learn from the Ethiopians...

goddam America, why do they send thousands of troops into Helmand, while they let the AU's 4000 goddam troops and the somalia 'army' get wasted by these goddam islamic insurgents, what kind of message is sending to the rest of Africa?

[AfriBaobab]

Exactly. Millions of shillings and manpower support given to these people yet ungrateful and pine for our country. Useless ingrates. Wrong information, yeah the woman is typical somali dumbshit. isn't she, given a public platform to spew ignorance.

[AfriBaobab]

Useless somali with useless facts that are as illiterate as you are. Somalia has built nothing but the art of piracy and idiocy upon the world. If you had any hand in kenya(formerly known as part of abbysinia) it would be as slaves..face the truth you useless bastard somali ape!

[AyanleHaybe1]

Neither of you know anything about somalia, kenya, or real poltics because u r animals. Esp. American brainwashed by W.Media distortions and have no real informations about the world. Kenya was build by somali people not kenyans. they were slaves who did now know to make business and wants more somalis to come to kenya. Second, Kenya holds somali land so it does not want central strong somali Gov that would ask to bring back its land back. Indeed, they even bought more land from few Treasons.
