U.N. condemns Somali attacks
No!
Not a U.N. condemnation!
Not in Somalia!
I am sure all involved feel rightly bashful now, toes all afuddlin’ and they are certainly ready to stop their pernicious ways, yes they are. No foolin’ mister! Honest!
Sigh.
I mean, I don’t blame the U.N. for issuing condemnations on things … they’re a completely toothless organization so, really, that’s about all they have [ ... and even then, they can only use the threat of condemnation every now and then when enough countries agree to say something useless]
… but what I don’t get is why the Media (capital M) feels the need to report it?
My Aunt can condemn the fighting in Somalia too … and guess what? … Her condemnation is going to make the exact same difference as the U.N’s
Here’s a snippet, in case you care what acronym said what.
Attacks on African Union peacekeepers in the Somali capital are an insult to the Somali people and the religion of Islam, the United Nations said.
The militant group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for an attack on the airport Thursday in Mogadishu. The attack killed nine people including two members of the AU Mission in Somalia.
A joint statement from AMISOM and the U.N. Political Office for Somalia condemned the attack as a “heinous act of terrorism,” the U.N. news agency quoted the statement as saying.
