An open letter to President
Barrack Obama
Dear Mr.
President,
I am an
American citizen of Somali
descent, an unaffiliated voter
who also happens be in your
e-mail list, and you Mr.
President, the first lady, the
vice president, the DNC and many
other Democratic Party
officials’ e-mails are regularly
finding their way into my inbox.
Allow me Mr.
President to pick a bone with
you as it regards to the
genocide against the civilians
in Mogadishu. Somalia.
Al-shabab is
undoubtedly a terrorist group,
and is partially responsible for
the deteriorating situation in
Mogadishu, but there are not the
only terrorists in Somalia.
The worst
terrorists in Somalia are the
Ugandan and Abyssinian troops
who Are not in Mogadishu to
fight the insurgents, but to
savagely massacre the Innocent,
non- combatant civilians, the
women, children and old folks
Mr. President
why on earth would you keep
propping up the worst dictators
In Africa? Why would you give
Billions of dollars so badly
needed by the struggling
American single mothers and the
unemployed Millions of Americans
to the Tyrants of Uganda and
Abyssinia, whose only wish is to
starve their own people and
mercilessly murder innocent
civilians in Mogadishu.
They are continuously and
persistently committing genocide
against the already
devastated, poor and defenseless
civilians of the God forsaken,
down Trodden city of Mogadishu,
and trust me Mr. President any
level headed Person knows how a
peacekeeping force should
behaves, those whose peace is
kept live it, the other
concerned parties and those with
stakes in the matter feel when a
peace is kept, and the African
troops in Mogadishu are in no
way trying to keep a peace or
even slightly take into account
the safety and the well
being of the civilians in
Mogadishu.
For the last ten days alone
hundreds of civilians were
massacred, majority of them by
heavy and sustained,
intentional, indiscriminate
shelling of the African troops
who as reported never bothered
to strike the
AL-shabab
positions half a kilometer away.
Those African troops would
rather mercilessly commit
genocide against the Already
devastated civilians of
Mogadishu than to conventionally
engage The Al-shabab insurgents.
I am certain Mr. President,
there are millions of American
voters who are disappointed and
disillusioned with how their tax
dollars were sent to the likes
of Ugandan and Abyssinian
dictators to wage expansionist
wars across Africa and commit
genocide against
Unarmed
civilians and with all due
respect Mr. President that is no
way to lead the greatest, most
powerful nation on earth.
The united States economy is in
shatters as a direct consequence
of your action or lack thereof,
millions of Americans lost their
employment under your watch, and
you are Mr. President sending
billions of dollars that Should
have been invested in the
homeland to the aforementioned
African Dictators. Mr.
President, why is it you pay a
lot of attention to such a
tyrannical foreign countries and
murderers? Do you realize Mr.
President It is us, the American
voters who elected you and not
by those foreign Dictators?
Mr. President, the American
people are demanding your full
and undivided Attention to the
problems here at the homeland,
and I am certain millions of
Americans would want you to
please stop giving away their
tax Dollars to those foreign
warmongers and tyrants,
andinstead help our veterans of
Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the
unemployed Americans, the youth,
the uninsured/underinsured and
the single parents who are
barely breaking even.
Mr. President, Please understand
that the Billions of Dollars
your Administration gives to
Ugandan and Abyssinian dictators
are causing Hundreds of civilian
lives in Mogadishu every week
and the African troops in
Mogadishu and elsewhere in
Somalia areunwittingly showing
off their Military prowess and
it so happens that they have
your unequivocal consent to
strike civilians at will, and
are fully aware of your
diplomatic, financial and
Military giveaways, and as such
do not feel constrains, and are
therefore exploiting your
excellence’s indifference to the
plight of the victimized
Civilians.
Your excellence’ collusion in
facilitating the Ugandan and
Abyssinian tyrants’ genocide in
Mogadishu will forever
beremembered, as you will
undoubtedly have a dark spot in
the history books, but Mr.
President it is never too late
to correct a wrong or heal a
wound.
An American
author by the name Gregory
Winger once said: In matters of
war, America must be wary of an
ally who greets her with a
beggar's hand. This is the case
with Ethiopia and its
involvement in the war on
terror.
It is
assuredly crystal clear that the
tyrants of Uganda and Abyssinia
along with the al-shabab
terrorists are hell-bent to
commit atrocities against the
civilians in Somalia, and in
Mogadishu in particular. The
daily indiscriminate shelling of
the innocent Somali inhabitants
of Mogadishu by both the
insurgents and the African
forces are intolerable act of
savagery, a crime against
humanity, is unacceptable and
uncalled for to say least. It’s
a genocide not only sanctioned b
y the so-called international
community, but it’s undoubtedly
being ordered by same
international community. It’s a
daily massacre orchestrated
equally by Abyssinia and Ugandan
dictators, funded by your
administration Mr. President and
I have no doubt that the
resources you willing spend in
these misdeeds should have been
invested more wisely here at
home.
