Peacekeeping? There is no peace to keep…
If the AMISOM peace keeping mission can’t pursue the Islamists, who’s fighting whom?
Looks like the matter is a little more nuanced, and there’s a third party in the game, no?

Clashes broke out in Dharkinley in southwest Mogadishu around 10 am (0700 GMT) when Somali loyalist forces attacked checkpoints manned by insurjents.
Keep repeating the Islamist and al-Qaeda mantra omitting the longstanding civil war in a largely prevailing muslim country, and see how people will make out the Somali mess.
*sigh* Another episode without Caitlin.
I started watching this site because of her… and now… losing interest.
Food, food, food. Looks like Egypt is suffering the most while USA is suffering the least.
W000t 2nd comment!
Firfth!
There’s no peace at war…
ahh!!!! injuries!!!
3d!
shibani cigani xd
What happened to the girl. I feel like I haven’t seen her in a while.
Peacekeeping: Whoever keeps peace the longest wins!

Gun peacekeeping switzerland. I has win’d.
MORE KNOWYOURMEMES
Yarg !!
Somalian Pirate We!!
Terrorism sucks!
The fuuck?
I think next time it’s important to qualify “Islamists” as radical. There are plenty of people who don’t automatically differentiate, assuming that all people of the Islamic faiths are radical terrorists.
Whatever. Fuck you, and fuck that stupid ass meme.
yup must have

COPY AND PASTE
If you are one of the people who
think asking “DID HE DIE”
Is totally AWESOME and needs to stay.

If all they do is protect the Somali president and if they aren’t allowed to pursue these Islamist rebels how can it be called a peace-keeping mission?
And is it safe to assume that things didn’t work out afterall and that Caitlin is gone? She hasn’t made an appearance for a month. She’s quit already?
wtf is this shit?
▐▐▐YouTube Screwed Us!▐▐▐
After failing the first of unsubbing fred, due to YouTube.
We are firing back at Fred and now YouTube.
The new date for the unsubbing is
August 10th, 2009. YouTube shut us down last time, but this time its ours.
The unsubbing begins August 10th. The June 1st prank has been cancelled.
▐▐▐YouTube Screwed Us!▐▐▐
this is news, or simple terms things that happen in the world.
is this rocketboom?
Islamic terrorists: *bleep* up the world one continent at a time.
Pick your words carefully Ruud. You just portrayed the Islamists as radical terrorists.
What’s this doing on Rocketboom anyways?
People with your shared ignorance fuck the world up one continent at a time. Oh BTW you can swear on youtube.
They are.
go away man, no one cares
No he’s right, they do!
Who gives a f***?
And Islamists say they are the religion of peace? BULLSHIT! They wonder whay we view them as nothing but sand monkeys and violent phsociopaths? This is why, goddamnit!
The violence is the result of statists coming in on behalf of foreign governments attempting to re-install the communist government. These casualties cannot be attributed to anarchism.
I don’t want to speculate but I think Caitlin is gone.. I mean, this is what happened when Joanne went away..
And listen to the end of the last video of Caitlin.. Sounds like she’s saying “good bye for now”…
I hope she comes back.
I KNOW EHH! “if everything goes according to plan”… i guess not
You sir, are generalizing. I don’t think it would be a stretch to say the majority of islamic people are peaceful. All religion causes death, war and violence. Religion is the problem with the world.
This comment is worth recognition.
you’re saying terrorists of the islamic variety are benign?
that sounds sorta ignorant to me. unless you made the assumption he meant muslims in general
i love dutch speaking documantarys
Rocketboom needs to get with the f-ing program. This is BS. Just use that friggin blog you have and be honest with your readers. Loved Joanne, but Caitlin is / was really great too… but hasnt been seen in weeks. The sad thing is, the reason people care is because you guys do great work. Great writing, great videos… you just have to deliver the content in a dependable way, or… people just start to loose interest. Every day that I come here, I keep telling myself it’s the last time. Its a simple formula actually summed up in three words… “Daily Internet Culture”. It’s about the “internet”, maybe a little “culture”, and oh yeah… its DAILY!!! The last Caitlin video was put up on May 12th, followed by the Keyboard Cat and that BS video on Spimes. As for the Mogadishu video… the worldly videos on Rocketboom are generally pretty good, except I compare them to the wacked politics articles that used to F-up my Rolling Stone issues back when Rolling Stone actually wrote about good music. Sometimes, the human wire videos carry some technology relevance, but whatever… they’ve always seemed misplaced to me, and it is certainly NOT the reason I come to Rocketboom. BRING BACK CAITLIN FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!
africa is fucked right up, don’t understand why customs is so hard on people in third world countries. Especially if they’re refugees. I don’t even see a viable reason for people to live in somalia….nothin but sand.
It’s not the religion that is the problem, it’s the people who use religion to do harm. True, quite a few religions have some form of hate in their scriptures/tradition, but it ultimately is the believer who acts with hate or love.
Maybe research the religion before you generalize. Research what it actually means and takes to be a Muslim and you will see that it is supposed to be a peaceful religion. So is christianity but there are still people who would kill people who disagree, im sure of it.
By grouping all Muslims as terrorists, you are only going to make those who are peaceful (the vast majority) not like you as well.
Read about it, that it’s suppose to be peacuful for muslims and the muslims to be aggressive towars infidels. That’s what the quran says and it also says that it should not be interpret wrong, but fundamentantly…
You are quite right.
are there peace full Muslims?
God damn Mussies.
“You’re ruining it for the rest of us!”
rest assured this is Rocketboom - this is part of the Human Wire series - check out the other vids in the series and share your thoughts!
Somalia is a country rich in tradition, culture and history, I think you need to read and learn more before you say, ” nothing but Sand”. Every region has gone through turbulent times, even the great USA had a bloody civil war.
wow a Dutch video, that was a nice suprise :)
good that you also show these kind of things, because you don’t really see this a lot.
Religion can be very hatful and segregating to begin with. The amount of religious people that are against gay rights or dislike like them because of their interpretations of the bible is most likely outstanding. This coming from organizations that are suppose to be accepting and peaceful. You have a point and I do agree with it but it’s also like the argument “gun’s don’t kill people, people kill people.” Guns are still a problem. I still think organized religion is not a good thing.
I am not grouping just muslims as potential terrorists. I group all religious people as such.
And also does the bible and also do the Budhist rebels in Nepal.
The only harmless religion (this far) are Wiccans and Satanists and that’s only because they have not any power at all…
No. Any non secular thinking results to bigotry, hate, totalitarian potentials while war and killings are only the natural product of the previous.
1. Muslim government that stones people to death unless they belong to the Hawiye
2. Secular, opportunist government that finances piracy
3. Ethiopian “peace-keeping” to secure Kismayo as their sea-port.
This is truly a land of opportunity.
You’re talking about the old testament.. wich was replaced by the teachings of new testament. (crucades are against the new testament)..
And satanists? bullshit, a satanist ”followed” one of the commandments here…if somebody treats you bad in your ”lair ” destroy him or something…. Well well, he killed him and chopped him into peaces..
Satanism is nihilism and extreme narcism combined. it’s no good.
Yeah, tons. All throughout my neighborhood. Living in the US helps.
Lol am i crazy or does he talks dutch?? or is this some kind of new youtube thingy that some guy speaks it in for all languages?
yeah, the narrator sounds like dutch
but his translators and himself need to use english to communicate
Yes, it’s dutch
I wonder if this video was especially made for rocketboom
well clearly the report is missing
the “Islamists” as u call them arn’t the only party of the war
where is the other party in this report???? ….missing
plus the use of the word “islamists” gives the impression that u mean “muslims as a whole”
given the fact that most of the women in this video looked like muslims and somalia being an arab islamic country in the first place
u could easily deduce that the presence of muslims isn’t the problem there
and the guy saying that all religion is the reason of war, I guess Human imperfections are the reason of war
like greed or vanity, while the religion is just the label used to “support” the war. like the crusades for example
and as for rocketboom ?!!
just tell us what is going on
and try to fix it
I am dead
2. You are next
3. Someone will kill you in the next 5 hours
4. Post to 6 other videos or youll die please no junk mail
no ur not dead, ur just a wuss who got frightened by this stupid spam so u posted this.
I specifically said Islamic “terrorists”. Are you saying people like Osama Bin Laden are peaceful and loving people?
People like you who think every comment with the phrase “Islam” is somehow bashing the entire faith are the ones who are giving Islams a bad name. You and the terrorists…
You’re comparing me to terrorists because I told you you were ignorant? I could care less about religion anyways, I’m a proud Atheist, and as far as I know, Osama Bin Laden is still working for the CIA. But really your original comment was for one inaccurate because most of the Islamic people believe that the terrorist that share their religion practice it incorrectly.
Nederlands?
Anyway, militant groups forcing their views on anyone should be stopped.
Nothing more precious to a human being then their freedom.
People are happy as long as they think they’re free.
Therefore, we would never think that our ”freedom” could just be a lie. Even the freedom of speach has been suffering from anorexia..
whoever put the subtitles isn’t that good at translations, just sayin.
We do think that. You are thinking that. But freedom isn’t an absolute quanity or something. You cannot be completely free.
Our freedom is governed and guided by our own laws, by morality and by other people.
But that is def. incomparable to violent agressive groups.
Boo yo
It’s horrible what humans have learned to do to their own speices.
Because Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot were all really devoted christians right? ANY and ALL ideologies can be considered dangerous so STFU about “well its religion that causes all the death in the world”. Long after religion is gone (which I hope is doesnt) people will still be fighting and killing each other and finding some excuse to blame it on.
Religion also has the power to bring peace, unity and forgiveness. Pope John Paul II forgave the guy who shot him. Would you???
People have the right to be religious, and they also have the right to be FREE of religions and their propensity to impose their beliefs on others.
And YES Hitler was a pretty devoted Catholic, FYI.
I think stalin was an athiest
”
Religion also has the power to bring peace, unity and forgiveness.”
Suuuuuure….. Have seen that a lot.
And Hitler was a devoted Christian as Stalin was a devoted atheists, though I do not think these are good examples of their religious of non-religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) since they mostly used that just as a tool for a rather irrelevant political agenda.
And sorry… religion has only promoted discrimination and hate this far… your “STFU” was a good example.
Islam is destroying the world and has been since 1453.
No, religion and human kind is.
One of his generals had very high intrests in the Islam and Hitler himself was somewhat obsessed with mythology and had some serious interests in the Aryan people, who -by the way- are from India…
Yeah, well, researching religion is what I do for a profession ;-)
Not to be one-upping you on history, but the Aryans of which you speak are not FROM India, rather they are from the mountainous north between Asia and Europe and INVADED India in prehistory, subjugating the native Vedic population - and as such, this account is only THEORY.
why dont u go somalia yourself ? I wanna see rocketboom’s hot lady in action there loooool :D
Many corrupt thieving governments in Africa that the au SHOULD FOCUS ON BEFORE BEING AN IMPLEMENT OF aMERICA/iSRAEL IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF sOMALIA.
Yeah because Hitler was a good christian man right? Given more time the Nazi mythology would have probably replaced Christianity in Germany.
hitler was not a christian.
Sure sure… and Stalin was not an atheist…
no. they were both atheists.
they acting like they are doing us a favour by treating those innocent people…the truth is that…most of those people are wounded by their artilleries and shellings of innocent people…they shell neibourhoods far from the fighting and now they wanna get credit for treating the same people they wounded….this motherfukaz gotta go out our country or we will keep on spilling their blood like the ethiopians..
that is what i call peacekeepers!! these innocent people were wounded by the alshabab terrorists and the enemy of allah(xisbul islam).allah will punish the alshabab and reward the AMISOM Thier good deeds,alluhu akbar.
why every one who try to be the Somali’s president is losing his wisdom by the time he get to that stage ?
now look at shiikh shariif , he completely forget what he was before he became the president ,
he is doing every thing that c/llahi yuuf was doing and he is not realizing it .
not agree with you (xasanxk), president sharif opened the doors to negotiate, but we know the one who refused and you know, ugandan and burundi soldiers are not muslim and that is true but they are guests in our country and we have not to treat with them like our damn ethiopian rivals, ( see how they take care about our innocent ppl)they came us to help our country including people, the nation and our dignity. so guess who is your enemey amisom, or terrors which is called xisbul fasaad & shabab
I feel sorry for my people in Somalia.
Ilaahay haka saaro dhibaatada. Waxaa kudhmaaday Inamadii yar yaraa iyo hablihii iyo birimagaydadii layiri yaan ladilin. Dhinac uroon maleh
this Ugandas and Burundis and the TFG are workers for the Westerns and this video was posted by the missionaries those who are there to spread Christies in Somalia and they use the ward helping full of propaganda Motherfuckers Alshabaab and xisbul Islam are fredom fighters my Allah Help them
kkkkkkk yaab waaye shiiqii hadii layiri madaxweyne ayaad tahay wuu iloobay weygii uu kuyimid wuxuuna u had layaa sidii ilama adeeradii cali jeele. geedi. m/dheere. bal hadalka sifiican u dhuuxa. shalay & maantay al qaedo ayaa soo qulquloo hayso kkkkkkkk
$100million dolar question????
Are those somalis fighting, kiling, destroying country and people humans?
Are those causing suffer suffering of innocent women, children, elderly
have heart and brain?!!!
Or Are those somalis savages no heart, no brain, no feeling for long suffering of people!!!
Thankful the US is no longer involved in that hell hole. Apparently they enjoy inflicting pain on anyone that comes in, and of course more so, themselves.
what are they hiding with that weird editing at the end at 2:27
blah what a hell hole, glad america isnt in this…it should be this way…american not caring about other 3rd world countries needs…we ourselves might turn into a 3rd world country…the way our economy is going so blah.
Suuuure. Get your facts straight fundie.
Yeah, and the other theory is that they actualy were from India… There are 2 theories about it. The Indians themselves prefer the theory that they are from India.
And I know, a lot of the vedic texts suggest they were a nomadic people who came to India. Though one mustn’t forget that in there were a lot of refferences to them in the more modern time. The Arya-samaj or the caste of nobility whose name is also closely related to the tern of Aryan
i think what remains of al shabab is the arabs (a robber) who want to rob africa like the europeans
they dont care about african suffering they want to promote arabic islam so african children look up
to arabs as superior arabs are racist they are worst than european just look at egypt where are all the black africans i think you can find more black people in england than egypt or arabia
I don’t like your mention about al kaide as an islamists and mention islamists as an terrorist. I think view is not objective.
stop sending me this shit. this is the 3 rd day that this showed up as a new video subscription
kkkkkkkkkk…sax walahi shariif dameer caadi ma ahan
amisom bloody killers get out off somalia
Proof of “peace-loving” Islam at work. If people do not accept Islam’s philosophy, kill them, terrorize them, and intimidate them.
Islam would not exist if it wasnt for Muslims applying the sword to gain converts.
somaligirl
I don’t undrestand that why boor africans care about somalia that means they are doing ather peaople’s jop why also every somali bresedent need neighbors brotection or ecceptons or proofs we are not foolsh all they being choosen couse all they doing is some one elses bussines as we somali usual from 1900 upto now know what shariiftuug to expect from mujaahidiin that he cheat he should hit the roud jaust like abdullahi yusuf .hahahahahahahahahah.
alot of fake muslim use islam as a cover up
to rob and kill and to gain power remember
the islamic court that was unity that brings peace
now a member of the same islamic court become president what the other guy from the same islamic court did start fighting his own muslim brother for power whats good about that its just envy and greed every man with a few guns think he can lead a nation
Sheikh Sharif is a total and utter failure.
out off somalia
What do you expect? He’s against a charismatic madman. I hope Sheikh Sharif wins. I don’t want Somalia to be overrun by religious nuts who desecrate tombstones and whip women.
dam mogadishu still looks good, after all this years of war.
When responsibility fail, irresponsibility takes over. Every nonsense then become the order of the day. Is this not a clear failure of the Africa Union to her member states citizens? Will this have been the case if these people have been participating directly in the process of voting for Chairperson of the AU Commission? Today it is Mugadishu, yesterday it was Ruwanda. Tommorow it will be who? Euthiopia, South Africa or Egypt or …….? Lets all vote!
