I've noticed that there are not a lot of talk or news about the current Civil War in Somalia. Yet, Somalia could be as important and probably more dire of a battlefield as Afganistan. See, Somalia has its own Taliban, the Islamic Court Union. They, like the Taliban, are using guerrilla tactics against an occupier, the Ethiopians. Also, like Afganistan, there are several high profile Islamic extremists that are wanted by the United States government. It is suspected the Al-Qaeda is supporting these Islamic insurgents. Also, hundreds of thousands of Somali civilians have been displaced and there is prospect of a much larger war in East Africa between Eritrea and Ethiopia because of accusations by Ethiopia that Eritrea is helping the insurgents (Hey! just like us Americans and Iran!).
And don't forget to imagine a scary scenario. Because Somalia has no government, it's maybe easier to sneak a nuke through that country than Iraq or Afganistan
So, I hope this post starts discussion about this (maybe) ignored war. Maybe we could post our ideas about how to solve this conflict.
