UN peacekeeping chief worried about Somalia mission  


Tuesday, July 29, 2008

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. peacekeeping chief Jean-Marie Guehenno said on Tuesday he was worried about a possible plan to send U.N. troops to Somalia when it is unclear who controls militants on the ground.

Fighting in the lawless Horn of Africa country between government forces and Islamist insurgents has left more than 8,000 civilians dead over the past year and forced 1 million from their homes.

The interim government of Somalia, a country whose main exports are sheep and goats, and its exiled opposition initialed a deal in Djibouti last month calling for the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers and a ceasefire after a month.

However, that pact was rejected by Somalia's Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, an Islamist who recently claimed to have taken over the country's exiled opposition, the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia.

"The political process is very elusive," said Guehenno, who steps down this month after eight years in the job. "The people who sign agreements ... how much of the guns on the ground do they control?

"If their control of guns is at best weak or ... nonexistent, then the agreements will not be a solid foundation for a peacekeeping operation."

The Security Council has been reluctant to send U.N. peacekeepers to Somalia, where warlords, Islamist insurgents and Ethiopian-backed Somali government forces are battling.

The African Union has said its peacekeeping force cannot stabilize Somalia and asked for U.N. troops instead.

Despite his reservations about Somalia, Guehenno said it was hard to deny peacekeeping missions, "How can you say 'no' when you are the last resort?"

The French diplomat leaves the department with twice the number of peacekeepers on staff than when he took the job. (Reporting by Megan Davies and Louis Charbonneau)

 As we can not solve our problems let the people of the world help us out. The alshabaab people are saying it is our way or no way and even if you let them rule there will be another splinter group whose interest lies some where else. I don’t want another Afghanistan in our country where the so called mujahedeen  when they overthrow the soviet backed government they end up fight each other.

Waar iska warran xaaji? Aad baan uga xumaaday jawaabtaadii aad maalin dhoweyd meesha iigu xarriiqday ee aad tidhi "Ciddii aan sidannu rabno yeeline dalka haka guuraan"! Where is our deal about choices and elections? Wallaahay inaan kutubbo xoor noqdo oo ssonta iyo salaadda idiinkaa i heysa!
Lamadagow siddasi waa aan colownno; waana laydinku nacayaa. Markaa aniga iyo inanta fariidda ah ee arawelo ayaa idiin tashannay. Waxaannu isla afgarannay inaanu idinka Soqodora idiin rarno. Halkaa gadhka dheer la war wareega niman waalan baad tihiine.

 Child rapist (peace keeping chief) has every right to worry about Somalia mission. First Somalia is not Congo, Darfur, or Lebanon. It is not where Security Council has a good reputation. It is a place were it is people knows the games of all UN fa*e missions. It is place were it is society want to life with dignity under Islamic shareecah. It has a people who saw how west undermined their very existence after allowing Abyssinians to invade Somalia. So this Chief should worry about the reaction of our people. Meanwhile, no matter how many boots it put on ground, none of them want to die for UN or its extravaganza perks. Sending blue helmet to Somalia is surely one way ticket to their death. Let  they choose which way they want to die.


He who has warned you has not killed you as yet


Idaa alshacbu araada yowman lil xayaat, falaa budda  alsakhaafiyah alumamiyah an takhaaf
Walaa budda lil qaydi an yan kasir. walaa lillayi an yan yanjalii
Walaa budda lil axbaashi an tuhzam, walaa budda lil Somal an yantasir
