Somalia: US Troops Wage Peace ‎Mission In East African Coast

Nairobi, January 26, 2006 (HAN) – The Italian Government said the Co-Chairs of the Somalia Donors Group, Belgium, Norway, Finland, EU, Arab League and China and EU, who will meet in Rome soon, urged an immediate end to violence and that they engage with the Somalia Federal government and its parliament to peaceful talk and re-establish a permanent Government base.  

African leaders gathered Monday for a summit fraught with human rights issues in a country the United States accuses of genocide, one day after Sudanese police raided a meeting of civil and human rights groups and briefly detained participants.

The US as one of the regions peacefully war on terror reiterates this message in the strongest possible terms towards the Somalia political groups. We are deeply concerned about the continued erosion of Somalia's One year old ceasefire as marked by the recent series of violent incidents in southern Somalia, The US embassy said. The United States recognizes that a lasting peace in Somalia can only be achieved by Somalis. We call on both sides to embrace peace and work together to build a future for Somalia that is prosperous and secure.  

There are other reasons, besides the humanitarian ones for the Horn of Africa's mission, to stop the anarchy in Somalia. Somalia's disintegration could lead to regional instability and an even more fertile breeding ground for hatred towards the Italians and European Countries who never showed up to help for the last 10 years of famine and disintegration. In the last few years of Warlord skirmishes in Southern Somalia has already lost five percent of its population.  

As IGAD zone events analyst of the Geeska Afrika Online editor said "when criticizing IGAD's frontline states policy of   siding with warlords to increase Somalia's disintegration:   Is Western security at stake in Somalia? directly, yes, for failed states anywhere can threaten stability of the Worlds busies Oil shipment - Red Sea."  

A collapsed Horn of African States like Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan and Kenya could become, like the Taliban's Afghanistan, a haven for terrorists, ocean pirates, Money laundry, illegal trafficking and farming narcotics, as well as a sanctuary for infectious diseases and terrorist. Internal displace people of IGAD zone immigrants would pour by the millions out of the Horn of Africa through Libya into Europe. In today's world, as We see and observe, no nation is an island.
