Ban Ki-Moon You and Your Boss Will Never Save Somalia

News:

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made his second trip to Somalia’s capital on Wednesday October 29 2014, walking around the seaside airport complex in a dark business suit. Ban’s fashion choices are not typically newsworthy but are significant in Mogadishu: On his trip in 2011, he wore a U.N.-branded bullet-proof vest.

The fact that his security advisers did not insist on war-time protection on this trip — at least inside the well-protected airport complex — is seen as another sign of Mogadishu’s improving security. Ban traveled to Mogadishu with World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and Islamic Development Bank President Ahmad Mohamed Ali Al-Madani. He said the group knows that the political, security and development challenges are huge but that many indicators are “finally pointing in the right direction” and that security and development must now go hand in hand.

“Slowly but surely Somalia is waking from a long nightmare,” Ban said. “The country is at a pivotal moment. Al-Shabab’s power is declining, but it is not gone.” Ban congratulated Somali and African Union forces for their advances against the militants and said it is critical they secure roads to newly recovered areas to enable humanitarian access and commercial traffic.

Comment:

This is the second visit of UN chief where the first one was in the year 2011. This trip comes almost a year of the Barack Obama’s memorandum sent to his State Secretary John Kerry, where he pledged to supply Hassan Sheikh’s regime with defense equipment and services as means to ‘enhance security of the US and strengthen world peace’. His visit comes while UN figures are shocking where about 218,000 children under five are acutely malnourished while almost three million people are in need of live –saving help.

Ban Ki Moons’ words; ‘Many indicators are finally pointing in the direct direction…” clearly indicate that the current situation in Somalia is moving towards his masters’ desire the US. This is due to the fact that the present president of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mahmud is an American puppet who works advancing to the US vicious plans against the noble Islamic Ummah. This is why he received warm and official congratulations from his masters following his appointment as a President of Somalia. Here is the comment of the UN special representative for Somalia Augustine Mahiga describing his appointment in September 2012, as a ‘great step forward on the path to peace and prosperity’ and until this moment he has been meeting with his bosses who continue oppressing the Muslims in Somalia.

For many years Somalia – a Muslim country has been turned by the US and European powers into a battle field over its resources. America has launched several military invasions under different pretexts; humanitarian efforts, war on Islamic Courts Union and Alshabab. It has been deploying weapons to the Government of Somalia and pushing its regional agents such as Amisom to continue killing Somali Muslims. On its part the British pushed its agent like Kenya to occupy and divide Somalia under the pretext of helping Somalia to restore order by fighting Alshabab.

This is the reality of Somalia of which the entire Muslim world faces: disasters after disasters. Had not the tyrants who glorify America and its colonial tools like the UN and Word Bank, then we would not have definitely witnessed this turmoil. Verily, to liberate Somalia and save it from long nightmare and the entire Muslim lands is to remove those tyrants and replace them with noble Islamic Khilafah upon the method of the Prophethood that will end and stop the foreign military invasion into Muslim countries.
