map war torn somaliaThis is a video made in 2007 that focuses on the conflict in Somalia. Murder, Rape, Kidnapping, Robbery, all standard daily routines in a war torn country. Somalia, like many other Islamic nations has religious groups that oppose each other on issues such as moral laws. Over these issues of law and morality, the very moral and holy leaders continue to send out the warlords to rape, rob and pillage their way into Gods good graces.

from Wikipedia.. the fight for social morals and football. Sadly, the bloodshed continues not over great issues or humanitarian causes, but, trivial BS such as watching TV and football games.

Conflict broke out again in early 2006 between an alliance of Mogadishu warlords known as the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism (or “ARPCT”) and a militia loyal to the Islamic Courts Union (or “I.C.U.”), seeking to institute Sharia law in Somalia. Social law changes, such as the forbidding of chewing khat, and even the prohibition against watching movies and football in public,were part of moves by the ICU to change behaviors and impose strict social morals.
