Our clan oriented media | Abu Galo Eri

Our clan oriented media.

Since the Shamo bomb attack in Mogadishu, I have been very closely watching the Somali as well as the Danish “media’s” overages of the matter. The vast majority of the Somali media are consciously and/or unconsciously repeating and transmitting the same message; that is Al-Shabab is behind it, a Somali-Danish resident carried out the attack and exacerbating even more many websites have gone beyond that as they have depicted not only a horrifying image of the alleged suicide bomber but shamefully shown on their webpage a photo of another young man who actually gave several interviews in several TV and radio channels of the matter. We are unfortunately dealing with such barbaric and immoral media type propagandas. We tend to be so naïvely ruling out any other foreign perpetrators. It does not surprise me that Somalis since the breakout of the civil war have assumed that the other Somali is the only enemy.

However, since I live in Denmark, I had the opportunity to follow the Danish media coverage of the matter, despite the scale of the terrific loses of the innocent lives none of them were able to establish a single piece of proof of any kind of suicidal act.

Matters like this in order not offend an already victimised person; one has to come up with tangible proof and/or evidence.

Moreover, the most prominent new paper in Denmark (Politken) has quoted from a source:

”En kilde tæt på efterforskningen i Mogadishu bekræfter over for politiken.dk, at det er usandsynligt, at selvmordsbomberen var dansk-somalieren – herfra lyder det, at den selvmordsbomber, som efterforskes, næppe nogensinde har været uden for Somalia”

”It is not clear that the suicide bomber was Somali-Danish citizen, rather the main suspect has never been out side Somalia”.

I (the writer) utterly denounce such an indiscriminate and inhumane killing of innocent people. However, I absolutely reject the idea of suicide bomber in the scene.

After all, we are forced to believe (suicide bomber) because all the other people are saying it (easy to copy paste). Despite there are several other potential suspects’ apparently non Somali masterminds. There is in my view a huge cloud over the whole story. The quick announcement of the “prime suspect” and that he was fully clothed, yet no sign of woman dress on the photos shown, but most surprisingly, all his inner body (liver, intestines, and stomach etc) is in good shape and intact. Some thing is not adding up for me. Get no wrong, I do not rule out any involvement of Al-shabab. However, I remain deeply sceptical. After all, Abdi Qaybdiid (the ruthless warlord) has just lost his post that very day. It is hard though to believe the claims of the TFG members.

Despite the fact, in our part of the world so many atrocities took place, some in the name of local and tribal disputes and revenges, etc. But nevertheless, some later became clear that a powerful out side forces were behind all these mayhem and human sufferings. Look what is now happening in Pakistan (indiscriminate mass killings, and massive explosions in populous market places) and the role of Black water, Darfur and Iraq. Recall who created a proxy war, through organisations like Unita in Angola, Renamo in Mozambique and the Contras in Nicaragua. And if one looks around and examines what has happened in Nicaragua during the Cold war, perpetrated namely by the CIA (good Muslim, bad Muslim: America, the Cold war…..by M. Mamdani) he/she will deduce that Shamoo’s massacre is just a beginning God forbids of scary era for us (the Somali people).

Unfortunately, I don’t see any glimpse of hope that this premature clan oriented “media” will one day realise how much havoc and devastation they represent for us (the Somali people).

    congrats mr Abdulkarim you hit the hammer on the nail.your analysis of the whole situation is highly thorough and proffessional.there are so many people out there who miss the point because simply they are ignorant and idoctrinated by the western propaganda.which is there to fleez and misuse the somali waters of all its productive living things because they got a market for it.so they mastermind such actions in order to devide the somali community even further. by perpetuating a wave of bombings like these ones so that they still furthure their pecuniary interest.on the other hand there are agents in somalia in the name of somali government which they created in order to perpetuate their interest.if the so called government cannot provide for security and other basic srevices why is it clinging to power?why can it not resign? that therefore shows you that there is sabotage crimality on the stage as ably articulated by the djibutian prtesident.
