"I hope God will help us shoot down their planes."- Sheik Mohamoud Ibrahim Suley, a leader of the Somali Islamic Party currently at war with Ethiopia.
What the F#ck?
Call me old fashioned, but it's hard to imagine that God is interested in shooting down planes....
The Somali government has been in a shambles since the longstanding dictatorship was toppled there in 1991. The US backed government has failed, and the government's effectiveness there is limited to a small area surrounding the capital. The country is now a haven for Al Qaeda, who are using it as a base to expand militant Islamic hegemony in the horn of Africa.
Hmmm...
Am I having Deja Vu?
