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.

AT the beginning of 2010, the AMISOM forces in Somalia, largely composed of Ugandan troop controlled less than 30% of the Somali capital, Mogadishu. The AU force now controls around 60% of Mogadishu.
The year started with the forces strength at 4,000 but now there are 8,000 troops in the war-torn city. In December, the United Nations Security Council allowed the force numbers to be increased to 12,000.
AMISOM is a peacekeeping force that is trying to bring sanity in Somalia.
Although several countries had promised to send troops to join the Ugandan and Burundi forces there, none have arrived. Ugandan forces first landed in Mogadishu under the mission in March 2007.
Last year, the force’s marked three years in what is regarded as the most dangerous city, where 45 Ugandans have been killed since the beginning of the operation.
At the beginning of 2010, AMISOM controlled only the seaport, the airport, the state house and the famous K-4 junction in Mogadishu. But by October, the force had stretched its control to Juba1 and 2, Bondere, Shakara, the parliament building, Fishbay, Sigale and were within small-fire range of the famous Bakara Market, which is the centre of Al-Shabaab operations in Mogadishu.
Away from the battlefront, the forces got better services than in previous years. For example, better air-conditioned accommodation, well-stocked canteens and an officers’ mess were set up for the troops and nearby residents.
The significant highlight of the year was President Yoweri Museveni’s surprise visit on November 28. Besides meeting the Somali president, he interacted with the troops during his half-day visit.
In December, the Chief of Defence Forces, General Aronda Nyakairima, also visited the capital. The Commander of Land Forces, General Katumba Wamala, visited more than twice.
