Civilians poured out of the southern Somali town of Afgoye today following reports that the town was attacked by a number of missiles strikes. The strikes appeared to target former government buildings which have been used by the al-Shabaab faction.
The missiles were fired from a warship off the coast, and it is so far unclear which nation fired them. Kenya is invading the region around Afgoye, but the warships in the region mostly belong to the United States and France, who have both been backing the Kenyan invasion.
Residents reported a flurry of activity ahead of the attacks, saying they believed al-Shabaab was holding some sort of meeting at a base in the town. Al-Shabaab insists there were no casualties in the missile strikes.
Kenya invaded southern Somalia last month, a move it admits it was planning for “years” beforehand. With concerns already mounting that Kenya has no real exit strategy, they have been pressing Western nations for support on the conflict.
WOW – if Obama wins another term, what do you think the total body count of black Africans killed will be before anyone cries racism? Seems like Obama never met any brown people he didn't want to have killed…so much for a peaceful Presidency but the MIC says we can never go back to the way it was on 9/10/01…its a shame the US foreign policy makes the President look like a bloodthirsty warmongering scumb-g, no matter what party.
