BBC: Bob Geldof goes to Somaliland, Puntland, Masailand and beyond..

Part of the "Africa lives on the BBC" series.

Africa is not the Dark Continent as so often described by writers from the gloomy northern skies of Europe. Not the Dark Continent at all. It is the Luminous Continent. Drenched in sun, pounded by heat and shimmering in its blinding glare. And within this immense continent, deserts with their seas of sand, tropics with their jungles, equators with their rain forest and coasts with more animals and fish than are imaginable.There are more people, languages and cultures here than anywhere else on our planet. Africa is quite simply the most extraordinary beautiful and luminous place on earth

Dispatches: Warlords Next Door

Dispatches reveals how key politicians at the heart of the vicious fighting in Somalia - described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis - enjoy incredibly close links to Britain.

The leaders of the current government, installed 17 months ago when Ethiopian forces seized Mogadishu from Islamic militants, were expected to restore peace after years of civil war, but also to destroy Al Qaeda and its allies in the Horn of Africa. The investigation begins in Britain. Among the British-Somali community, Hartley finds anger and frustration that taxpayers are sponsoring politicians who they claim are ruling by the gun and profit from conflict.

Lost Boys - Young men beyond redemption?

Lost to their community and lost to their faith, young Somali men of London are turning to ever more violent forms of street crime.

But it was only when 18-year-old Somali Mahir Osman was murdered in Camden by a 30-strong Somali gang in January 2006, did Somali clan elders realise that things had spiralled beyond their control.


The police got involved and the outcome was three gang members sentenced to life imprisonment, with five others sentenced to lesser jail terms. Somalis today form the largest ethnic group among young offenders incarcerated in the notorious Feltham Young Offender Institution south of London.




In this powerful authored documentary, Rageh Omaar pursues the stories of three recent murders – in Woolwich, Camden and Southall - to try to understand why this new generation of young Somali men are underachieving in education - and what makes them turn on each other.

He speaks to Mahir Osman’s mother, Asha, who believes that the boys struggle because they don't identify with any culture. "They haven’t got Somali culture, they haven't got English culture. They don’t know what they're doing. Really, they don't know. They're a lost generation."



Rageh also goes on the airwaves at a local Muslim radio station to appeal for insight.

A piece of history for the rest of us -- Taariikhdii Sayidka Iyo Daraawiishta

Documentary made in 1984.
Length: 28 min.
Directed by: Charles L. Geshekter









Ladies and gentlemen. History repeats itself. For our unfortunate amxaar-loving puppet kinsmen, watch this documentary, and if you can read: Emperor Menelik wrote in 1891;

Ethiopia has been for fourteen centuries a Christian island in a sea of pagans. If powers at a distance come forward to partition Africa between them, I do not intend to be an indifferent spectator.

If you still can't see my point, please chew (and preferably choke) on this letter.

History Lessons -- The Soviet–Afghan War: A Superpower Mired in the Mountains

Soviet war in Afghanistan: 1979-1989

The land of the Afghans has seen my invaders descending on it over the millennia: in the fourth century B.C, Alexander the Great -Megas Alexandros- reigned in the land, and had "Kandahar" named after him. Many invaders followed: The ruthless Mughal rulers of South Asia, the Russian Tsars, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and currently, Uncle Sam and his puppets..

All previous invasions have ended in crippling defeat.. Time will tell how the last one ends..



This country had suffered miseries at the hands of foreigners.. Use of sheer power to dismantle the country, installing puppet regimes (the Soviets installed Babrak Karmal) and the US bombed Afhanistan (in their words) "back to the middle-age" and installed their client regime led by Hamid Karzai...

Yesterday's "Mujahedeen" and "freedom-fighters" are today's "terrorists".. It depends who's running the circus.. and a freak one at that.

Cold War Surrogates: Somali-Ethiopian war in 1977 and the role of the West

This is what President Carter has to say abt his involvment in the war of '77:

I thought that.. Somalia should not be permitted to succeed in trying to take Ethiopian territory ..and .. I refused to give the Somali goverment any weapons..

30 years later, and not only is Zenawi still serving his master (Adeer George W) but now, he's got his own tail-wagging servants..

Some Russian general in hindsight:

The ethiopians could NOT have provided them military organization to destroy the Somali troops in such a short period of time.. even with our help"..
