Capitalism Forever Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060705/ap_on_...malia_world_cup The hard-line Muslim fighters, who have banned watching television, opened fire after a crowd of teenagers defied their orders to leave a hall where a businessman was showing Tuesday's Germany-Italy match on satellite television [...]It said the businessman and a teenage girl were killed. Hard-line Muslim fighters, who wrested control of the Somali capital from warlords in June, have forbidden people from watching television or movies in line with their strict interpretation of Islam. [...] Somalia has been without an effective government since largely clan-based warlords overthrew longtime dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on each other, dividing the nation into a patchwork of rival fiefdoms. A good object lesson in how anarchy enables the rule of the most brutal and power-hungry of all the "competing protection agencies." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
