Sabotage the cinemas showing pro-genocide film

Somali | 17.01.2002 20:08

Sick Americans flock to gory film which hides the truth of their government's war-crimes in Africa. The US invasion of Somalia in 1992 claimed hundreds of Somali lives and left warlords to torture, kill and rape innocent Somali citizens. Now on the eve of another war on one of the poorest countries, Americans are spreading lies and deceit through Hollywood. Death to the American Empire!

The US has claimed that the Al-ithad organisation, supposedly allied to Al-Qaeda, is being harboured by the transitional national government in Somalia and the Somaliland government. Both deny this and have stated the organisation is outlawed.

The US proxy armies of Ethiopia have already begun organising forces of warlords in the autonomous Somali region of Puntland, according to UN officials, the Rahanwein Resistance Army and local journalists. The warlords, who have ravaged the country in the past, have strong US business connections, control fiefdoms ruled by violence and are hoping to be swept to power like the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. In an interview in the New York Times on 8th January, the fascist Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz stated that Ethiopia and its Somali allies would be "exactly the kind of people" needed to fight the "war on terrorism".

After touring Somalia this month, journalist Hussein Ali Soke wrote: "I met some families that were traumatized by the previous US led 'operation restore hope’, young girls that were raped, families that lost their loved ones, and they don’t want any operations here and are ready to sabotage the mission. Most remain armed."

Fighting began in Puntland's capital of Garowe on Monday 14th when former Puntland leader Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf killed prominent businessman, Farah Muhammad Sa'id Gom'ad, on the eve of a summit of tribal elders gathering to discuss the US invasion. Many are seeing the US's hand behind this assassination as its attempt to intimidate local leaders to back its line.

The Americans want to destroy Somalia and Somaliland and wreck their tenuous governments on the basis of rumour and they insult Somalis with the film "Black Hawk Dawn" which transforms American genocidal murderers into "heros". The Americans are evil and their evil film must be stopped.

Go to your cinema and splash red paint on the billboards that advertise the film. Hand out leaflets exposing the war crimes of the Americans. chain yourselves to the doors and disrupt the viewing. Destroy this film which will give Americans the propaganda to invade and destroy Somalia again.

Death to the American Empire!
