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
