WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Islamist insurgents in Somalia have vowed to attacks the capital cities of Uganda and Burundi unless those countries withdraw their troops from Mogadishu, Radio Garowe reports.
Fuad Shongole, a senior commander of Al Shabaab militants, told a gathering in Mogadishu on Thursday that Al Shabaab plans “new attacks” in Kampala and Bujumbura as “revenge” for attacks in Mogadishu between Al Shabaab insurgents and African Union peacekeepers (AMISOM) drawn from Uganda and Burundi.
“We will attack Kampala [Uganda capital] and Bujumbura [Burundi capital] and there will be mass exodus of civilians just like Mogadishu,” Shongole vowed. He warned that foreign soldiers must leave Somalia “before parents in Uganda and Burundi cry over their deaths.”
The Al Shabaab commander said Uganda and Burundi sent their troops “to kill Somalis” and vowed that Al Shabaab “will defend the Somali people.”
Shongole angrily dismissed Somalis who are not partaking in the insurgency, saying: “This war is a duty upon every Somali because Muslims are being massacred. Anyone who sits down [avoids the war] is a loser.”
Al Shabaab militants control most regions in southern and central Somalia, including many districts in mogadishu where the UN-recognized Transitional Federal Government (TFG) is protected in military barracks by the 7,200-strong AMISOM peacekeeping force consisting of soldiers from Uganda and Burundi.
In July, Al Shabaab militants claimed responsibility for twin bombings that killed upwards of 70 people in Kampala who were watching the 2010 World Cup Finals at crowded venues. It marked the first attack by Al Shabaab militants outside of Somalia and the attack was preceded by threats issued by Al Shabaab commanders.
AMISOM troops have been serving in Mogadishu since March 2007 to protect TFG installations, including the presidential palace, the airport and the sea port in Mogadishu.
Since 2006, Al Shabaab has introduced Somalia to a new wave of violence including suicide bombings, roadside explosions and assassinations of TFG officials.
Many Western governments have blacklisted Al Shabaab as a terrorist organization, including the U.S. and Australia.
