Whenever a colonialist wants to capture a country he will try to divide the people and set them against each other in order to achieve his colonial interests. Our commentary, written by Abdulkarim Mohamed Kariyeh and read by Ali Abdi Afrah, is on this subject.

History has taught us that whenever a colonialist wants to capture a country he will try to capture it at a minimal cost by dividing and pitting the people against each other with the help of mercenaries, surrogates, and idiots, promising them promotions, property, and rewards after he has attained his colonial interest.

Listeners, our country is witnessing what we have just mentioned above. The United States’ fledgling colonialists, under the umbrella of the United Nations, are using idiots, mercenaries, puppets, and hypocrites with little religious faith in order to achieve their colonial goal of exploiting our country’s assets and natural resources.

The U.S. fledgling colonialists, in the course of implementing their ugly objectives, have totally blindfolded the world’s media by destroying reporters’ tools so that the scandals they are perpetrating, such as the massacres, exploitation of the country’s resources, and negative acts in the country cannot be videotaped or transmitted.

On the other hand, the fledgling U.S. colonialists have destroyed all the country’s media equipment, particularly Radio Mogadishu’s studios and its transmitters. Similarly, the headquarters of independent newspapers perceived to be opposed to colonial interests have been bombed. This has led some other newspapers published in Mogadishu to publish colonial ideas, because the United States is taking advantage of young writers with limited education and because these writers fear for their lives and property.

The United States, while wearing a UN shirt, is threatening young writers barely educated in journalism that it will destroy their publishing houses, just as others have been destroyed before.

Listeners, there are mercenaries who argue that the country’s political, economic and social affairs should be run by colonialists. We could point out that these people were forced to argue that way because of the shillings they have pocketed, and that because of eroded nationalism, they have become colonial surrogates.

In conclusion, whenever a colonialist wants to capture a country, he will try to divide and pit the people against each other to attain his colonial interests. Therefore, the Somali people should be vigilant and unite in countering the fledgling U.S. colonialists wearing UN shirts.
