Some African leaders are paid to start a war on fellow African country like Somalia by europeans of colonial mentality in order to distrupt peace and create chaos.The Islamic Courts provided peace and security for Somalia but the whites were not pleased.They waged a war in Somalia by assassination drones and Ethiopia became the first puppet to agry to invade and brutalised and terrorised innocent childrens and women and then amisom followed.It is too soon to forget whe these europeans invaded Africa with worce brutality and sold african captives into slavery in America and colonised the continent with terror,brutality and fear.Dont you feel a sense of shame.Tomorrow the same white are going to arm Somalia to the teeth and order them to take a revenge on you and they wont refuse.Ha,ha,ha you have been framed.........
