Somalia’s Parliament pleaded Saturday for its neighbors and the international community to send in troops within 24 hours after days of intense fighting here in the capital and the deaths of several top government officials put new strains on the country’s beleaguered leaders.

“We are under attack by foreign terrorists,” Sheik Adan Mohamed Nor, the speaker of Parliament, said in a news conference. “They are planning to destabilize the security of the whole region. We ask our neighbors, like Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Yemen, to militarily intervene in Somalia.”

Foreign jihadists have joined the battle in Somalia, but analysts say the vast majority of the fighters trying to topple the government are Somali.

Mr. Nor made his appeal Saturday as government troops lost, and then said they regained, a crucial neighborhood of the city — a claim the insurgents denied. The government also declared a state of emergency, but it controls just a few neighborhoods in the city, so it was unclear what effect the decree would have.

I don't foresee how any country would want to get bogged down in that hell hole, but do you really think it has the potential to destabilize the entire region?

Personally I think the region is already unstable.

This would seem to be right up the African Union's alley

We stabilize our region, you stabilize yours.

Why doesn't Somalia have its own military/police?

Had plenty of time to get their acts together.

Well, more than anything, they lack resources.  They've also suffered through some of the worst famines in recent history.

Africa's climates are changing, and not to the advantage of human inhabitance.

What a planetary rectum that place is.  Can't burn it cuz nothing there worth saving.  I say ebolatize it, it's not worth a nuke. 

The only thing of value there are the hijacked ships and their crews.  If we had a way to put the whole country to sleep then maybe we could get the shit back, then, in the words of Sgt. MacGregor,  we could "slot the whole sodding lot 'em".

All of Somalia's neighbors are concerned with locking up their borders to keep out the shit storm.

The UN would have to intervene, but expecting the UN to do anything about anything is a waste of all our time.

Dear Somalia,

We came there to help you 15 years ago - then you chose to blame all your problems on 'evil western interference'.

We set up generators to power water filtration systems, provide clean drinking water, and power hospitals - you threw stones at the guards, stripped the copper wiring from the generators, then sold it for scrap.

We put our soldiers in harms way, to give your people a chance at a stable government - instead you sat on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to do everything for you before you decided to choose sides and get involved.

In short, We were there for you 15 years ago.  You pissed away your chance, shit on your benefactors, and couldn't be bothered to participate.

Fuck off, we're busy elsewhere now.

From the last pics I saw of Mogadishu, there's no point, unless they want us to bulldoze it. But yeah what rdx said.

Fuck them period now and when al queada changes base from Afghanistan to Somalia. You would blame the politician for not taking this chance to try to stabilize this region.

I'm sorry but with Somalia, the chances of it being stable are close to nil no matter what you do.

Do you know anything about Somalia at all?

Whole fucking map needs to be redrawn there. For starters, cut Somaliland off and recognise it as a separate state. Copy it's governance template across Africa as it looks like a great compromise between modern, developed, western democracy and African tribal culture.

bleh........they already have a base there.  have for a long time actually.  but, thats still not the point.  its a failed part of the world.  and nothing we do short of a full scale take over will help.  so you can stand there on your soap box and look compassionate, but i dont see any solutions from you.

Not all of Somalia is a shithole, there's that Somaliland bit which is in essence its own country which is quite decently developed it's just that the international community don't bother to recognise it, so it gets lumped in with the entirety of Somalia which is mostly a shithole

Or something like that
