even though somalia seems penniless, it has huge oil deposits
that is why up until 1961 northern somalia (somaliland) was ruled by Britain

i think the issue was in media... but in trikels... here and there sort of.
but i think you are witnessing the media built up, to something they turned a blind eye too?
personally, it could be something worse, but like all things, you got to be there, in the people to solve that one, i belive:cool:

The US has been 'liberating' Somalia ever since one of Bush's butt buddies struck oil in Yemen in the 80's. In the last few years, China has gotten oil rights in the area as well, I think.

The recent msm focus on this is merely propaganda to gain public support for increased US forces in Somalia, which would actually be more leverage for Rockefellers/Brzezinski's RAND corporation to get their war with China, eventually Russia, etc...

just a possibility...
