Каша в Сомали заварилась после поддержки Рейганом очередного геноцидного диктатора, клиента Пола Манафорта. Вы про это?

In January 1981, former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger visited the presidential palace in Mogadishu, hoping to further strengthen US-Somalia ties. Barre had criticized President Jimmy Carter for not backing his country against the Soviets. But now Kissinger was convincing President Ronald Reagan to view Somalia as a crucial theater for US-Soviet confrontation. A year later, Barre made the trip to Washington, DC, to meet with Reagan in the Oval Office. Grainy footage of the encounter shows Barre asking Reagan for help. “Somalia is not afraid of any other country in the region, but it cannot cope with a superpower like the Soviet Union,” he told Reagan.
Barre said the United States agreed to help Somalia, because it “is also in its own interest.” In the 1983 budget, Reagan requested $91 million in military and economic assistance for Somalia, plus another $18 million in food aid for refugees. That year Somalia’s entire GDP was less than $750 million.
Around this time, Paul Manafort, a lobbyist who would become the chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, took on the Barre government as a client. In 1980 Manafort founded the lobbying company Black, Manafort and Stone, which had close ties to the Reagan White House and later the George H.W. Bush administration. Riva Levinson, who worked with Manafort in the 1980s, has said she asked at the time, “Are we sure we want this guy as a client?” Manafort sounded agitated: “We all know Barre is a bad guy, Riva. We just have to make sure he’s our bad guy.”
Manafort did PR for Barre even as he was massacring the Isaaqs. Levinson said Manafort sent her to Somalia to have Barre sign a contract for $1 million. “Our assignment would then be to clean up Siad Barre’s international reputation, which needed plenty of soap,” she wrote in The Washington Post in 2017.
With Manafort’s PR work and the country’s anti-Soviet Union alignment, the United States was happy to turn a blind eye to Barre’s abuses. By 1988, Washington had given his government hundreds of millions dollars of military and economic aid, and Barre had become entirely dependent on US support.

Почему беженцы из Сомали селились именно в Миннесоте, я не знаю. Помогали лютеране (Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service).

Ilham Omar @IlhanMN, one of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress was sworn in today - a journey to the House of Representatives that began when she and her family came to the US as refugees from Somalia and were resettled by LIRS.

Нет, я говорю только о конкретных необратимых действиях, которые начинают лавинный процесс, как убийство Нго Динь Дьема, официального заявление послихи в Ираке, а в данном случае - lame duck Буш решения "спасти" родину Омар от голода.

Кто и какие бросал дрожжи туда в помойку - бессмысленно обсуждать - процесс брожения помойки непредсказуем, для меня ясно одно - внешняя политика страны получила особый поворот, когда при рейгане "блядь допустили к мессе" - когда наш с вами друг - наставник Флинна попал во внешнюю политику в бригаде выпускников Henry "Scoop" Jackson'а.

Я как раз 10 минут назад прослушал эпизод из книги Роберта Гейтса "Exercise of Power", как "спасали" Сомали.

Крутится гнида - непонятно, кто был ЗА, тем более он сам был там - Director of Central Intelligence на заседании NSC.

lame duck Буш решения "спасти" родину Омар от голода

Решение не было кулуарным и в то время не вызывало никаких возражений - СБ ООН единогласно принял резолюцию 794, которую проталкивал Бутрос-Гали.

The resolution is a personal triumph for Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who has pressed the Security Council to take decisive action on Somalia since taking up his post at the start of the year, even accusing its members of being overly concerned about Eastern Europe and indifferent toward an impoverished African land.
https://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/04/world/mission-to-somalia-first-un-goal-is-security-political-outlook-is-murky.html

Генпрокурор Барр подготовил для Буша юридическое обоснование: “You have authority to troops overseas without specific prior Congressional approval 'on missions of good will or rescue, or for the purpose of protecting American lives or property or American interests.' “
https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=741635

В те дни Барр был также занят планом по сворачиванию расследования Иран-Контра. Через неделю после отправки войск в Сомали Буш отказался предоставлять документы специальному прокурору, а ещё через две недели по совету Барра помиловал всех участников.

“This office was informed only within the past two weeks, on December 11, 1992, that President Bush had failed to produce to investigators his own highly relevant contemporaneous notes, despite repeated requests for such documents. The production of these notes is still ongoing and will lead to appropriate action. In light of President Bush's own misconduct, we are gravely concerned about his decision to pardon others who lied to Congress and obstructed official investigations.”

Наш с вами друг тоже вышел сухим из воды.

Политика поддержки диктаторов против их народа недальновидна и неизменно оборачивается граблями - что с шахом в Иране, что с Барре в Сомали.

Провал операции в Сомали отбил желание заниматься интервенцией в другие гражданские войны (геноцид в Руанде и т.п.), что в итоге превратило Африку в вотчину Китая и путинских наёмников.

Поддержка арабских принцев также в итоге обернётся «помойкой», это вопрос времени.
