Somalia: Al-Shabaab Drags Dead Ugandan Soldiers Through the Streets of Mogadishu…
Filthy animals.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — It’s a gruesome display seen many times over the years in Mogadishu. The bodies of dead soldiers dragged through the streets. Somalis angry over 20 years of violence say they do it in hopes of driving out African Union forces.
The latest incident happened Thursday, when the body of a fighter who appeared to be a member of the AU’s peacekeeping mission was pulled through the streets by a rope. The spokesman for the country’s most dangerous militant group, al-Shabab, also displayed a body alongside documents that identified the man as a Ugandan soldier.
“Today we are celebrating the death and blood of your sons,” Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage said at a news conference Thursday.
The most infamous occurrence happened in 1993, when fighters dragged a U.S. soldier through the streets after a disastrous U.S. military assault into the Somali capital described in the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.” The deaths and grisly scene were widely used by media outlets who had to weigh the images’ news value against their violent nature. The incident hastened the U.S. withdrawal from the East African nation.
In 2007, Somalis dragged the bodies of Ethiopian soldiers through the streets. Ethiopia withdrew after two years of war.

It is ironic that blacks brutalize their fellow blacks in the name of an arab god, religion and people that regard them as nothing more then sub-human slaves.
Simply charming!
African slavery started w/the muslims, but yet America seems to be the only place ever to have had slavery.
Oh, and yeah, they are animals.
So Bill Clinton is dragging another body through the streets of Mogadishu. Makes no difference that it isn’t an American body. Our leaders by allowing such atrocities are complicit in them. Bill, George, and Barack can tell themselves they are somebody now but one of these days they will be in the same place as those who have been drug. May those drug pass judgment on these who could have done something about it but didn’t and aren’t. Keep telling yourselves that you won’t have to answer for what you have done and what you haven’t. Hope I am there when your proud confidence in your own righteousness turns to abject horror and regret that you was unable to grasp the simple humble dependence and submission required of those for whom God purchased redemption.
Let’s not be disparaging of animals now, filthy or not – this particular genus is inspired by evil, nothing less – there’s a lot of that going on these days.
God bless America and our troops.
