Deputy House Speaker Farah Maalim is in a foul mood. And this has nothing to with the MPs who can’t resist the mildest temptation to cheapen debate on critical issues. Far from that. He is terribly angry with the US government.

As the Islamist group al-Shabaab continues to put Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government under siege, Mr Maalim is accusing the US of executing a genocide in that country.

Mr Maalim has been linked to secessionists groups in Somalia, raising questions in some quarters on the nature of his relationship and the motive.

Last year, some blogs on Somalia were abuzz with speculation that he had been barred from travelling to the US because of his criticism of America’s role in the Somali peace effort as well as his links to some groups in the Horn of Africa. But the deputy Speaker, whose constituency neighbour’s Somalia, insists that he has been working with what he calls “progressive secularist” forces seeking to stabilise the region.

I expect we will be hearing more from Mr. Maalim in the coming days.

out there, people are being killed with my tax dollars in the name of 'peace', and I feel ill.
