Iran To Mediate In Somalia
Bravo. It's about time someone showed a non imperialist interest in Somalia. The US and UK have fed this war for their own selfish interests and the desire for resources.
Quote:
Iran offers to act as a mediator between Somali groups to help resolve the ongoing crisis that has plagued the country for over 17 years.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki made the offer during a Tuesday meeting with the new Somali Ambassador to Tehran Abdul Rahman Abdul Hossein.
Mottaki also blamed world powers and their interference in Somalia for the continuation of violence in the country.
“Somalia's strategic setting and natural resources have drawn the attention of certain powers to the country_ powers that are trying to secure their interests in Somalia through fueling instability,” he said.
“We are ready to help bring about an agreement through talks,” added the Iranian foreign minister, urging Somalis to try to reach a compromise in order to end the civil war broke out after former President Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991.
Mottaki's comments come amid enduring conflict in Somalia between the anti-goverment forces of the Islamic Courts Union and the Ethiopian-backed Transitional Federal Government that brought down the ICU administration in early 2007.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
