Mogadishu, the Somali capital today comes under the worst terrorist attacks in the nation’s history. Innocent students and professors of Benadir University suffered the brunt of the destruction and death along the brightest and best of the Somali government ministers of education, higher education, healthy and sports. The terrorist act was carried out by a suicide bomber disguised as women and has the unmistakable finger prints of Al-Shabaab/Al-Qaeda operations. The satanic cult of death used the usual brainwashed youth promised for homicidal place in heaven. A youth so brainwashed he was an auto pilot; like a robot he made no observations of what was going on around him. The opening Quranic verses, the presence of mothers, fathers, guests, professors, journalists, and religious scholars made no effect on him to reason what he was carrying out may be wrong or at least questionable. He just sat like a robot and detonated his belt the appointed time, taking his life and those around him.
The suicide bomber was so brainwashed, he is made to believe by detonating an explosive belt in a room full of Muslim Sunni students he will be in heaven for ever. He was told when he dies his body will not smell or decompose but will be like a perfumed musk and his face will be glowing like a Christmas tree. I wish what would be suicide bomber could witness his mangled hideous and smelly corpse at Mogadishu police station and ponder upon the grand lies told to this wretched creature.
The magnitude of this tragedy will be felt decades to come at Somali University campuses and places of learning. It was an operation designed to take out the learned men and women and severely handicap the Somali intellectual and learning community and punish the Somali general populace. It was equally designed to send clear signal to intellectuals living outside Somalia to rethink entertaining the idea of coming back to rebuild their nation.
It was a job designed to ensure that Mogadishu youth will remain ignorant and future robots for the satanic cult of Al-Shabab/Al-Qaeda recruitment drives will be found. It was well orchestrated operations whose sole purpose was to cripple the Somali consciousness of reasoning and logic. It was equally a signal for Somalis entertaining any negotiations between government and Al-Shabab/Al-Qaeda Inc, that it was an impossible and non starter. All bets are off the table. It is the drum beat for all out war, complete control of all of Somalia or nothing.
Al-Shabaab/Al-Qaeda has shown their true colors and satanic devils that they are by indiscriminately bombing a private graduation ceremony for medical students. They have not only killed half of the brightest medical graduates but they also killed the best surgeons and doctors the nation has ever produced and killed the most respected Islamic leaders the nation had.
The murdered students, professors and government ministers were the jewels of the Somali nation. They were true patriots who when the word have written us off a failed state, started universities, schools and rejuvenated the looted and abandoned hospitals. These were men who donated their own blood when they could not find any other donor for patient at the operation table. These men and women have sacrificed high paying professorship tenure at foreign universities to work dangerous Somalia without a pay to reestablish Universities and places of learning. These were men and women who have braved the dangers lurking every corner to treat the sick and educate the abandoned Somali youth. They were the crown jewels of the Somali nations. My sincere condolences to the families of the innocently murdered heroes and May Allah grant them paradise as they were the true Mujahedeen in this struggle.
For the Somali people it is now or never. We have a choice to make; we have to completely abandon our nation to a Satanic Death Cult or choose to be a member of civilization. Whatever we choose, sacrifice is necessity not an option.
