American foreign policy is the direct cause of the humanitarian crisis in
Somalia - the worst in all of Africa, according to United Nations officials.
That's why, until recent days, U.S. corporate media said little or nothing
about the hundreds of thousands of Somalis - now numbering at least half a
million - who face death by starvation and disease because of a war
instigated and facilitated by Washington. The corporate press methodically
avoid - and thereby, cover up - stories that contradict the mythical
American narrative: that the U.S. means to do good in the world, and only
does wrong by mistake.
The horrific wrong inflicted on Somalia was absolutely premeditated, an
integral aspect of American plans to bring the bogus "war on terror" to
Africa, as a cover to dominate the continent and its wealth. Ever since the
end of formal European colonialism in Africa, U.S. policy has been to spread
chaos wherever Washington failed to impose rule by its own favored
strongmen. When Muslim groups early last year subdued the warlords of
Somalia - a nation that is 99 percent Muslim - a semblance of peace and at
least some hope for the future took root. By all accounts, life was getting
back to something like "normal" for a people that had known only brutal
warfare since 1991. Such a peace was unacceptable to George Bush's crew, who
whipped up an hysteria in the United States, claiming Al Qaida was
establishing a base in Somalia, and urged the regime in neighboring
Ethiopia, Somalia's historical rival, to attack last December.
"U.S. policy has been to spread chaos wherever Washington failed to impose
rule by its own favored strongmen."
The U.S. worked hand in hand with the Ethiopian invaders at every level of
the Ethiopian military, while U.S. jets relentlessly wreaked terror from the
air. Once the Ethiopians had planted themselves and their puppet Somali
"government" in the capital, Mogadishu, the Americans sent their other
African proxies, the Ugandan military, to make up most of the puny African
"peacekeeping" force in Somalia. The Somali resistance to the Ethiopian
invasion consider the African peacekeepers in Mogadishu to be agents of the
U.S. - and, regarding the Ugandans, they are right.
In recent years, Kenya has seen record economic growth, but the mushrooming
high rises and luxury cars inspired resentment among the millions left
behind. Odinga's campaign slogan was whittled down to a single cry -
"change."
"We voted for change," Odinga supporter James Okidi shouted during an
opposition protest. "If Kibaki can't give us our president, the mortuaries
are not yet full," said Okidi, one of hundreds of thousands of impoverished,
unemployed young men living in Kenya's most desperate areas. "If the rulers
of the United States were searching for a plan that would kill hundreds of
thousands of Africans, like the current crisis in Kenya, they have found
it."  America supported Kibaki's policy towards Horn of Africa.
If there were ever a formula for bloody and protracted war in Somalia, it is
Ethiopian occupation, which is already unifying diverse elements of the
Somali population in resistance. The war will also destabilize Ethiopia,
which is more than a third Muslim and home to many peoples that oppose the
dictatorial regime in Addis Ababa. If the rulers of the United States were
searching for a plan that would kill hundreds of thousands of Africans, they
have found it. This time, however, as in Iraq, Washington has created more
chaos than it can handle.
The United Nations found it necessary to arrange trips for American
journalists to witness the carnage that the Americans have wrought in
Somalia - the same Americans that claim to care so much for the people of
Darfur, and who promise that the new U.S. Africa Command will bring peace to
the continent.
The Americans, like the Europeans before them, bring only the peace of the
dead.

 Somalia - the worst in all of Africa, according to United Nations officials.
