Somali PM warns of weapons surge in Baidoa

"...the resistance is growing day by day"

From the Daily Show

Jon Stewart: In recent days, the United States has shelled al Qaeda operatives in the East African nation of Somalia. … The operations targeted the alleged mastermind of the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania nine years ago. So Osama Bin Laden, come 2010, you've got problems, mister. We're coming to get you.

Here's a radio show with some pretty good information about the situation in Somalia.

Says here the economy in Somalia grew 25% last year.

It's hard to take seriously the supposed disarmament program announced by the Transitional Federal Government in Mogadishu, Somalia. I mean, wouldn't the first logical step of disarmament be to shut down the weapons markets that operate in the open?

Very few people complied with the order of the government and brought their weapons into the assigned locations. On the contrary, many people are now buying guns and ammunitions from the weapons market in the capital because they cannot trust the government.
