Mogadishu Truck Bomb, GCC, Al Shabaab, AMISOM, Farmaajo

[Xooshdheere]

Several things. Farmaajo should demand the lazy fufus to stop dillydallying and start putting a real plan in motion. Military forces of about 4 different states are stationed in Somalia, the fact that they are holed up in several strongholds is laughable. What's preventing them from charging on Al Shabab towns the way Iraqi coalition did on the formerly Daesh held Mosul? Bloody but victorious. It would be time to take serious action with regards to the wealthy Gulf donors said to be funding Al Shabab. They play no small role.

Hold Saudi Arabia and Qatar by the scruff of their necks. By this I mean Somalia could even consider changing its GCC stance. If Saudi Arabia can offer to use its network of influence to siphon off all sources of funding to AlShabaab , cut Qatar lose. Switch sides - nothing to lose. Al Shabab's main financiers don't live in the forests of Somalia, that much is clear. It's the trinkling in of foreign jihadis that brought tactics like beheadings & suicide bombs to Somalia. No qualms with slaughtering Somalis. Foreign funded jihadi commanders from Chechnya and Saudi Arabia do not care about the backlash their tactics get from the Somali public. It would be hard. But diplomatic finesse could pressure Doha & Riyadh to race to crack down on donors, the winner gets Somalia's GCC backing.

Devastating. Reports say among the dead were graduate students and newly weds. Sick of hearing this kind of news as I'm sure you all are.

Problem is if somalia opens its mouth they'll simply cut funding. Once that happens the mps will devour themselves in parliament. These are not normal people saxib. Somalia is in no position to talk. We simply have to roll with the punches for now
