The administration was formed two years ago with the support of the United Nations to help Somalia emerge from more than a decade of anarchy, but it has established no real authority. Typical for the U.N.

He wants these people to disarm?
Why?
So they can be hacked to death by the Jihadis?
Makes no sense.

"The only town his govt controls"?? He's not going to control that one if he tries to take the guns.

Somalia's "President" controls one town? There was never an election. How does ANY reporter on Earth use the title President for this guy?

This is ridiculous. If more people in Iraq had weapons, they might have been able to dislodge Saddam.

You could substutue a organizations from right here in the US for "Somalia" and get an accurate title. And I think drawing a comparison between disarming citizens in Somalia by the Radical Islamist Facists and US liberals is pretty appropriate.

While the United States doesn't face the problems that Somalia faces, there is still a lesson for Americans to learn from this.
