Qatar-based blogger Abdurahman Warsame explains why Somalia isn't like Iraq.
“There has been bomb attacks in Mogadishu since the city fell to the Transitional Government. A number of civilians were killed in various attacks, the prime minister Ali Ghedi and Mayor of Mogadishu, former warlord Mohamed Dheere, have both survived roadside bombs and four Ugandan soldiers where killed. Is this a repeat of Iraq? it started with foreign troops, small-scale attacks and ended up in the chaos we witness today. Well, luckily Somalia isn't Iraq,” he writes.
