Somalia ni wadhaifu kwasababu wana silaha dhaifu kulinganisha na nchi nyingine, wamekosa mafunzo rasmi ya kijeshi tangu mwaka 1991, hawana kabisa mfumo wa ujasusi kwa sasa. Walichonacho ni itikadi ya kiimani tu kwa sasa inayowafanya wawe tayari kujitolea maisha kirahisi zaidi kuliko majeshi mengine.
Mimi sioni somalia ikiwa dhaifu Kivita. Maana yangu ya udhaifu ni hivi. = Somalia hawajakuwa na serikali rasmi kwa miaka ishirini, wala hawana sera zinazowaongoza. hivyo, ikiwa taifa ambalo imestawi kiuchumi, kisiasa au kivita itaingilia somalia, huo ndio mimi nauona kama kuingilia nchi dhaifu. Ndiposa unaona kuwa mataifa Kama Kenya au Ethiopia yakingilia kati, inaleta tetesi kubwa sana.

Sasa Mzalendo mbona tunaongea kitu kimoja, bila shaka kutokana na somalia kutokuwa na serikali rasmi ndo kumesababisha wasiwe na silaha za nguvu na za kutosha, ndo maana hawana mafunzo ya kijeshi na ndo maana hawana idara yoyote ya ujasusi. Kwa hiyo tunakubaliana kuwa somalia ni wadhaifu, sasa ulichokuwa unapinga kuwa somalia sio dhaifu nini? Kumbuka mie ndo nimekwambia somalia ni dhaifu wewe ukapinga kwa kusema waliua wamarekani ukionesha kuwa sio wadhaifu.
Hiyo ni tukio tu, kwasababu ule mradi wa Lamu/S. Sudan transport corridor, tayari serikali ya Kenya ilikuwa ishaweka msingi wa kufanya ujenzi huo hata kabla ya mirindimo ya alshabaab kuzuka. Kuna maswala mengi haswa ya kihistoria ambayo yanaibua hisia nyingi, zinazotokana na shughulii zinazoendelea nchini somalia, iwe ni vita dhidi ya alshabaab au kulinda amani.
1.Kwa mfano, vita vya wenyewe-kwa-wenyewe tangu kuanguka kwa serikali rasmi ya Somalia imefanya kuja kwa wakambizi nchini Kenya kwa wingi. Serikali inawajibika kufanya majukumu yake ya kuleta amani katika mipaka yake.
2. Shughuli ya wakimbizi kuingia Kenya kwa wingi ni jambo ambalo utakubaliana nami imeshinda serikali ya Kenya. Inakadiriwa wakimbizi elfu tatu wanaingia nchini Kenya kila siku na wengine wakipenyea vichochoroni kuingia nchini bila idhini au stakabadhi, Mwishowe inaleta tishio kwa usalama wa nchi na wananchi, tena unakuwa mzigo kwa serikali.
Mzigo wa wakimbizi wa somalia ktk kenya haujaanza leo, mwanzoni mwa 1990s mzigo ulikuwa mkubwa zaidi. Nilitarajia wakati huo waone umuhimu wa kuingia somalia kuijenga amani.
Nakubaliana nawe kuwa ni jukumu la serikali kuleta amani mipakani lakini nashangaa kwanini haikuliona hilo mapema.
Kuhusu project ya Lamu mpaka Sudan kusini ilikuwa kwenye makaratasi na wala kenya haikuwa na haraka ya kuutekeleza, ila baada ya uhuru wa Sudan kusini umuhimu wa kujenga kwa haraka umeongezeka lakini bahati mbaya unatakiwa ktk kipindi ambacho usalama uko chini kwa hiyo hilo limefanya kenya ione umuhimu wa kuimarisha usalama kusini mwa somalia maana alshabab wamekuwa ni kitisho kwa pwani ya kenya.
An interesting article from Mashable.com which I bring here ad verbatim
Should the U.S. Shut Down a Somali Militant Groups Twitter Account? Zoe Fox22
The U.S. government is concerned the Shabab, the Somali specially designated global terrorist group, is using its Twitter account to recruit new members from the West.
The New York Times reports the State Department said they are looking closely at the millitant groups use of its Twitter account, @HSMPress, which it began using Dec. 7.
The accounts bio says, Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen is an Islamic movement that governs South & Cen. Somalia & part of the global struggle towards the revival of Islamic Khilaafa. In the past two weeks, @HSMPress has sent nearly 120 tweets and amassed more than 5,300 followers. Almost all of the posts are in English, suggesting they are intended primarily for a non-Somali audience.
Many of their tweets emphasize the groups fight against the Kenyan military, who entered Somalia in October to battle the Shabab.
The Obama administrations concern, however, is recruitment of new militants, the Times reports, not Kenyan provocation. Mashable has asked the State Department for comment and will update the story if we learn more.
In the accounts early days, the bulk of its followers were journalists, terror researchers and aid workers, not Muslim youth interested in joining the movement, Wiredreported.
Since the Timess report, the Shabab has responded to of the U.S. governments concern over its account.
HSM Press Office @HSMPress
How many accounts would #US government be able to close before realising the futility of their attempt? They need a team now to monitor HSM!
The Shababs embrace of Twitter is ironic in its own right, considering the group is infamous for its rejection of all things western, keeping foreign aid from reaching famine victims and banning signs of culture from music to bras from the regions it controls.
The group has pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda, and is known for tactics such as cutting off hands, starving the Somali population amid famine and ripping gold teeth out of mouths.
Whether or not the U.S. government chooses to shut down the Shababs Twitter account, it opens a larger discussion. Does the U.S. government have the right to shut down social media accounts? Twitter is an American company. Does that give the U.S. sovereignty over the entirety of its content?
Hiyo inaweza kuwa ni kweli, nimepata uhondo mwingine hapa. ebu chambua na wewe uone jinsi mwandishi huyu ameweka maswala mengi hapa kama kwa mfano, kejeli zake Museveni kwa KDF na "jubaland project". Ni vigumu kujua Agenda ya hii ripoti ni nini.
I have read the article and it seems to me the writer just wants to exonerate the US from her complicity. It's hard to believe that the US was caught unaware given the country's penchant for war, especially "war against terror". Afterall, the US intelligence has been closely knitted to the intelligency agencies in the region, in the aftermath of the simultaneous 1998 bombings, for such a plan to "pass under their radar" (unnoticed).
Witness: Kenya Air Raid Kills at Least 7 Somalis MOGADISHU, Somalia December 21, 2011 (AP)
A witness says that a Kenyan air force raid killed at least seven people, including a child, in a village in southern Somalia.
Town elder Ali Hashi said Wednesday that he saw the bodies in a clinic following a bombing raid in Hosingow. He says one jet appeared to target a base used by al-Shabab insurgents and another bomb hit elsewhere in the village on Tuesday.
A Kenyan army spokesman confirmed that two air raids had been carried out but says no civilians were killed. Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir says 17 al-Shabab fighters were killed.
Kenya has conducted numerous air raids in southern Somalia in the past three months. Kenya sent troops over the border into Somalia two months ago following a string of attacks by Somali gunmen on Kenyan soil.

Nairobi, Kenya OPERATION LINDA NCHI
Location :NORTH EASTERN KENYA
Updated : 10: 00 Hrs EAT
EXPLOSION IN DABAAB, TWO SHOT IN GARISSA An explosion believed to be a grenade occurred near a training centre in Ifo Dadaab on Tuesday morning. No injuries were reported but police are investigating the incident.
Meanwhile on Monday night, two people were shot and seriously wounded in Garissa town in what police believe is a new tactic being employed by Al-Shabaab militants' sympathisers in the area
The two, barbers, were shot at close range by gunmen who escaped without stealing anything from them.
Witnesses and police said the gunmen walked to the barbershop at about 8pm and shot the two in the chest and head before escaping on foot.
Police on Tuesday said the victims were admitted at a local hospital, and were in stable condition.
North Eastern PPO Leo Nyongesa said no arrest had been made but they are investigating the motive and those behind the attack.
The attack happened hours after a police officer was killed and two others injured in an explosion executed by a gang of Al Shabaab sympathisers at the Hagadera refugee camp, in North Eastern Kenya.
The injured officers are still in hospital in Garissa. Their colleagues have complained injured officers are abandoned in hospitals in the area. They want their superiors to intervene.
"These officers need to be airlifted to Nairobi for treatment but they have been abandoned here. It affects our morale," said an officer on the ground.
@Kibona, Askari kanzu & your bongo fratenity. Haya ndo matokeo ya shughuli za alshabaab nchini somalia. There is to much untold suffering here, So, wakati tuna jadiliana hapa, let's do with with full sobriety. The third picture is Dadaabs aerial view. the biggest in the world
Kuhusu Ethiopia ukumbuke kuwa ni kenya na wanachama wa IGAD walioipigia magoti Ethiopia iingie kusaidia somalia japo mpaka sasa Ethiopia haijasema imeshapeleka majeshi zaidi ya habari za kwenye vyombo vya habari.
Haya maneno ndugu yasiwe ni uhondo tu wako au mawazo yako. Nilikuwekea links hapo juu, nawe fanya vile vile kuthibitisha kwamba Kenya iliwapigia Ethiopia magoti ili wapate msaada

Mzalendo452, despite my efforts to compaginate those three pictures and deflocculate your remarks, I still feel my argumet is holosteric, i.e Kenyan military is facing a katabasis in Somalia, due to lack of tangible prior planning. Dadaab has never been the casus belli for this war. What I am witnessing among Kenyans now is kakorrhaphiophobia which is translating itself into inaniloquency. This could have been avoided had Kenya known of the contretemps that were inherent in this untenable Somali adventure.

Mkuu Askari Kanzu, umemuona Kiranga kwa karibuni?
Ukikutana nae umwambie jamaa zake wanamsalimia. Ile mapinduzi ya Libya inaendeleaje? Wao pia walijisahau kama Kenya?
nashindwa kujua kwa nini kenya army wanashindwa kufanya mambo ili hii operation iwe fupi-sitaki kuamini alshabaab wana kuwa na stiff resistance kiasi hiki
Security services are at an unprecedented state of alert amid reports that Al-Shabaab, the Somali terrorist group, has dispatched bomb makers and assassins to eliminate Defence Minister Yusuf Haji and National Assembly Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim.
Interviews with various security officials revealed that a detailed operational plan was sent to commanders of security agencies on Wednesday.
The plan includes a guide to officers on terrorism prevention, detection and how to act in case of an emergency.
New measures have resulted in the security of selected ordinary public places being upgraded, albeit temporarily, to the status known in security parlance as "vital installations."
Normally, vital installations would, among others, include airports, military barracks, police stations and foreign missions in Kenya.
This means the newly upgraded areas will be provided with the same level of security as the sensitive installations.
In Coast, a central command is manned round the clock by officers from all agencies, including the police, military and the National Security Intelligence Service.
The new entrants into this category include some churches, hotels, selected entertainment joints, shopping malls as well as some media houses.

Ally Kombo, not really. But as someone conversing with these imperseverant Kenyans I have come to discover, ab initio, that in order to be inexpugnable and put them in situ, I am obliged to deploy vocal ballistics of altitonant character so as to elumbate and render them anandrious. These people still wallow in, (to quote Patrick Obahiagbon), cankerous tribalism, ethnocentric chauvinism , syphilitic parochialism and catalytic parapoism. To most of them, the command of English (that colonial language) is a litmus test, a sine qua non, of academic excellence. And that's why!

Ndo hivyo mkuu, wote tunawashangaa. Kazi yao ni kupayuka kwenye vyombo vya habari lakini shughuli haiendi huko somalia, halafu wanasingizia alshabab wanajua vita.
