| US ordering AMISOM in Somalia | |
| 2008-10-18 | |
They (the policemen) have confirmed to our Press TV correspondent that whenever insurgents attack AMISOM (African Union Mission to Somalia) bases and the Aden Adde International Airport, they have to consult the American officers before taking any action. He says that according to his police source, there are more than 25 US military officers (including nine female) stationed secretly in AMISOM bases. At least 35 times AMISOM has been attacked, and every time the American officers have given the orders to shoot at civilians in Bakara and other districts in south Mogadishu, our reporter says quoting 10 policemen he has talked to. They also plan attacks for the AMISOM, the policemen said. Whenever the AMISOM spokesman, Bragiye Bahoku, speaks to the media, he reads out the text dictated by US officers, they say. The policemen also say that the peace keeping forces from Africa, Uganda and Burundi are like US paid soldiers. They have to obey what is ordered by the US officers, even if they do not like it. In 1993, the US forces launched an operation is Somalia, named 'Operation Gothic Serpent' supported by the United Nations Operations in Somalia against Somali militia fighters loyal to warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. That mission had ended in failure, our correspondent said. The US has assigned the Ugandan soldiers to control all the communication especially when an attack takes place. They were asked to interrupt and block conversations passing through the Mogadishu telecommunication company and also listen to their daily talk. | |

| #2 This reads like it was written by the Soviets Disinformation Service ... Well, that true, if it read like it was written say by paleo Disinformation Service, then, the 9 female Us officers would bare their breasts and show their titties at the civilians to daze them, just before the AMISOM open fire. |

| #1 including nine female Oh, noes! Horror! and every time the American officers have given the orders to shoot at civilians in Bakara and other districts in south Mogadishu I think that's true. I mean, if you can't trust an iranian news org quoting unnamed sources about warcrimes being committed at random for no apparent reason whatsoever bar sheer cruelty, then... who can you trust, I ask you!? |
