Yes Yes, Here We Go

We can’t ignore Somalia, warns David Cameron

“These problems in Somalia don’t just affect Somalia. They affect us all,” he said.

“In a country where there is no hope, chaos, violence and terrorism thrive. Pirates are disrupting vital trade routes and kidnapping tourists.

“Young minds are being poisoned by radicalism, breeding terrorism that is threatening the security of the whole world.

“If the rest of us just sit back and look on, we will pay a price for doing so.”

As was already obvious back in December, Somalia is next on the hitlist for “Western intervention”. As covered in the previous post, there has been an increasing stream of news articles in the mainstream media about the troubles of Somalia, in particular using the accessibly tragic sounding metonym, “The Failed State”.

I suspect this announcement by Cameron marks the first proper step toward invasion.
