New York, USA, March 13, 2010 (SL Times) – The widely known fact that the Islamic insurgents in Mogadishu get much of their weaponry from the Somali “government” that is supposed to be their enemy has now been confirmed by a United Nation Security Council report. Quoting from the report, the New York Times (March 9, 2010) wrote: “many of the rebels' weapons come not only from Yemen, but also from Somalia's weak U.N.-backed transitional government.”
The report also said that Sheikh Sharif’s militias “remain ineffective, disorganized and corrupt — a composite of independent militias loyal to senior government officials and military officers who profit from the business of war.”
