Growing tension in Somalia

Somaliland-Monitor:

Posted on October 25, 2011 by History will tell the changing global trend

AU and government troops are targeting Al-shabab bases in Mogadishu. Al-shabab is fighting back. Kenyan Troops also entered South Somalia claiming they will hunt Al-shabab because of the last kidnapping of foreigners from Kenya to Somalia which they said was behind by Al-shabab. The foreigners who were kidnapped were French nationals.
French navy is also bombarding the Al-shabab bases near Kismayu. This is the first time such French bombardment should take place. This shows that apart from the American drone attacks to Al-shabab, now Al-shabab is also a target of the French navy in the Indian Ocean.
We can say that there is a growing animosity towards Al-shabab from various western, African and neighboring countries. Uganda, Burundi, Ethiopia, now-Kenyan, America and French are allaying to overthrow the Al-shabab controlled areas in the southern parts of Somalia. They are putting themselves as helping the poor-weak interim government troops who without the AU support would have been easily destroyed by Al-shabab.
While the situation is like this can we say that Al-Shabab is attracting each time a new enemy, instead of flying with low profile? The answer is partially yeas and partially no. partially yes because they always call for a global Jihad that angers those Al-Shabab-enemy states and we can say no because Alshabab’s enemies might have a hidden agenda against Al-Shabab which they always critizise the wrongdoing to the shoulders of Al-Shabab.
Al-shabab is an Islamist military organization that controls much of southern Somalia and is called by westerns that it has a relation with Al-Qaeda.
The AU does not want the problem of Somalia to be solved. Particularly:
Kenya: which enjoys almost all Somali humanitarian assistance and supporting organizations who spent millions of dollars each year in Nairobi.
Uganda and Burundi: who are deploying thousands of their armies in return of American Funds and distances their armies fearing potential coups. They are paid by the Americans
Ethiopia: which has also enjoyed the chaos in Somalia. Ethiopia politically controls all Somali governments and the autonomous and semi autonomous states of Somaliland and Puntland. They fear that politically, military and economically strong Somalia is threat against Ethiopia.
Since then who is the good-man for Somalia. What is clear nowadays is that the Somalia tension have risen sharply and it will be the time to decide who will win and who will lose.
