ten downing street

Few days ago at a press conference, the Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin pointed out the western medias decision to be completely silent about the Georgian attack on the South Ossetia from 7-9 August when Georgian troops were on the attack. But when Russia entered the war, the western media started spouting anti-Russian propaganda painting Russia as the aggressor and Georgia the victim. I believe that Mr. Putin when he says that western media would not have reported the Georgian attack on South Ossertia if the operation went successfully. The reason is because that is what happened in Somalia after the US/Ethiopian illegal invasion of Somalia.

In December 28, 2006, the United States and Ethiopian troops invaded the weak and defenseless nation of Somalia, from land, air and see. It was illegal and immoral war. It brought utter destruction to the people of Somalia and enduring hate of the people of Somalia for the United States. Yet, US war crimes in Somalia does not get merit a passing remark from you and other western media reporters. Hence, the US and the western media have been successful suppressing the US military massive military aggression against the people of Somalia.

I would like to know why western media analysts are silent about the US war crimes against the people of Somalia?

U.S. involvement has been rooted in counter-terrorism efforts in which the suffering of the Somali people has barely been factored beyond the sending of humanitarian band-aids to cover gaping human rights wounds. The crucial requirements for reconstructing a state—which are the basic elements, on paper, of U.S. counter-terrorism policy—have received little beyond rhetorical support.

Like the catastrophe in Darfur, the Somali crisis has been characterized by massive abuses against civilians, collective punishment, cleansing of entire communities, and obstruction of relief efforts. Since Ethiopian forces invaded Somalia in December 2006 with U.S. support, roughly one-third of Mogadishu—home to 1.5 million people before the fighting—has been destroyed and an estimated 60 percent of the citys inhabitants—nearly 700,000 people—have fled. Thousands have been killed.
