Somalia: Nightmare of the Horn of Africa

The botch rescue attempt of the French Commandos is a reminder of how Somalia has turned into a major nightmare for Africa. The failure is a reminder of the failed mission of the US Marines in the 1990s. France lost a soldier and one was missing while the Commandos killed 17 al Shaba militants. Some reports have it that the French Commandos 'mistakenly' killed some villagers, hence putting al Shabab on the alert of an impending danger.

Reliable sources in and around BuloMarer town in South Somalia where French commandos raided late last night, say that the French commandos first landed at a village called Daaydoog which is located at the seaside and three kilometers away from BulMarur where the French intelligence officer was held by Al Shabab militants. The Commandos left without the hostage. A complete facsimile of the US' mission. An incomplete mission.
