A series of horrible killing stemming from the discontent of the Somali civilian with the Ethiopian invasion have lately rocked the stability of Southern Somalia. The world especially the United States and Ethiopian government have contributed to today’s horrible din of heart trending shrieks and cries that have engulfed the nation. No word that could suffice to describe the injustice Somalia is experiencing today. The United State and its proxy Ethiopian government have necessitated the killings and the frenzied rage of the public.The news today states that 113 people were slain within three days. When will America my adopted nation ever care to wake up to understand the harm their bent foreign policy is causing to the children and women of Somalia. The Ethiopian invasion has been the most devastating disaster after the rule of warlords for over a decade.
The TFG and its cronies would not guarantee an honest efficient government. During the few peaceful months, the Islamic court ruled Mogadishu Somalia was heading in the right direction. The public was beginning to enjoy peace and stability. Social welfare was beginning to appear important and the economic focus of the public was beginning to be revived. The ICU was prepared for the business of bringing Somalia back to life. They fought and resisted the warlords who were holding the country in hostage. The Ethiopian invasion just exacerbated the problems that are besetting Somalia.
The TFG and Ethipoia are deceptive and deceiving the Somali public. The TFG is made up of people who are inhuman and uncharitable. They are all after power. I am not impressed with the way the world is taking lightly the destruction Somalia is facing today. I came across a powerful video that described the situation in Somalia. I am guessing it was produced before the invasion of Somalia by the Ethiopian government.I will post it once I figure it out what is wrong with the link. It was a heart wrenching to watch.

Random Rambling
It is a late evening and I just got off from the YMCA after working out for almost three hours. I am sweaty and yucky. My gas tank light is blinking on the dashboard. I know I have to make a stop to fill up my gas-guzzling car. I pulled over to the nearest Quick Trip gas station. A middle age woman approached my car with a little concerned distance. At first, I had the impression that she was a sales person soliciting; some business.She asked if I had a few minutes to spare. I told my ears were all for her. I have a habit of not writing off people at first approach. One time at the impatience of my friends, I spend few minutes listening to Jehovah witness who wanted to “save” me.
She wanted some men muscles to change her tire. I offered to help her to change the flat tire. In America whenever a Samaritan does something kind for you people expect you to give them some tip. After I was done, changing the tire the woman handed me a dollar notes, which looked like twenty dollars. I had to turn down the offer because I did it for the cause of generosity. I explained to her how this was an opportunity for me to create a smiling face in other people’s lives. It is not that often that we come across such a great opportunity to make difference in people’s lives. We are all too busy with our little world. I do believe from my up bringing as a Muslim that generosity does bring luck to you.
I am heading down to Ohio this Easter weekend for a Somali Indoor Soccer tournament in Columbus Ohio. I have been to Ohio before and I never liked the place. It is too damn boring of a place, but I guess all the nomads out of town will make it fun this weekend. I am all for the parties and the honeys down there. We all have to find balance in our lives. I guess partying this weekend will do it for me. Even though I am not soccer player, I will try to blend with the crowd. I don’t remember the last time I kicked a ball in a field. Let this not raise question about my soccer skills because last I remember I was a good midfielder in an African sand field.
