Somalia's Crisis

The world situation seems quite uncanny these days. Present day diplomats could be rightly compared to Roman emperor Nero who could not give up his penchant for music while the Rome was burning. Our generation has encountered horrendous rule of Taliban, exodus of people from Dili (East Timor), and plethora of other happenings to pique us.
On this background, we should be unfazed by another distressing and uncanny replay of Afganistan in Taliban days (now we are used to this). Can you guess about what I am talking? Yea it is Somalia. Created in 1960, the country is in downright political imbroglio. Islam is the principle religion with a smacking of christianity.
In June 2005, a berserk group led by Islamic Courts Unoin romped to victory when it siezed Somalia's capital Mogadishu. The secular warlords, who toed the White House line, failed to fend off the Islamists. The country is in a bedlam. What's worse is that Islamic Courts Union is an Islamic militia which rests under the sanctuary of al-Qaeda. This has raised immediate fears that Qaeda honcho- Bin Laden would establish new macabre stnadards using the Somalian resources. Somalians will have to pay alligiance to Laden when their government endorses his actions. May Lord (read US) save Somalians.
