>They will be fighting and murdering each other until the end of time over

This is not true considering your goverment and military invaded and attacked these people after they choose their leaders

Read again what I wrote.

>In the summer of 2006, the ICU would expel an alliance of Somali warlords funded by the American Central Intelligence Agency and became the first organization to consolidate control over all of Mogadishu since the collapse of the state in 1991.[5] The six month period that followed is commonly heralded as the most stable and productive era Somalia had seen since the outbreak of the civil war up to that point.

This stopped because of the US

>The reign of the Islamic Courts Union would be ended during the final days of 2006 by a U.S. backed Ethiopian invasion.

The first civil war was over 1997. Between 97 and 06 the ICU were in charge. The US decided to attack them. These people had no choice the matter.

It's seems like I'm talking to a wall.

Ah yeah if only they kept Islamic fundamentalism I'm sure things would be peachy. Their country is barely even a country, there are enormous tribal/clan tensions in Somalia that predate any western intervention. I couldn't care less if it's warlords running the country or Al Shabaab, it's none of our business.

From what we have seen it was. That goverment was much more stable and stronger than the current american puppet goverment (TFG) And those weren't fundamentalist at all. Muslims can't form their own goverments without being attacked and invaded in their own country.

Anyway most of the ICU would later join the american made TFG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_Federal_Government_of_Somalia

The only reason the US invaded is because the ICU deported the CIA backed warlords.

>I couldn't care less if it's warlords running the country or Al Shabaab, it's none of our business.

I mean the Al Shabab formed because most of the leadership in the ICU died or joined the puppet gov. Only a handfull of dudes in AS came from the ICU. And they died in 07. To confuse AS and ICU is being ignorant for the sake propaganda and continuing a fight the CIA started. The CIA themselves still don't know if ICU have any links to Al Qaida. Which leads me to believe that it was bs from the start because their groomed warlords got deported and they needed a justification to invade.

Anyway you will believe what you want. But now atleast you can't claim ignorance. Somalia doesn't need american/nato intervention. It was the americans who came back to Somalia. Not the other way.

At least we can both agree that western boots should never be setting foot in Somalia.

Borders aren’t walls and ideologies and governments that are ignored will cause problems for us later down the line. Issues in Somalia spill out to their neighbours and somewhere along the way western interests are directly threatened

Geopolitics 101

It’s not about who’s ‘worth saving’ but frankly under the same economic and political circumstances I’m sure American would act even worse
