Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah is an American citizen who joined Wikipedia:Al Shabab, forces opposed to the would-be government in Somalia; he died in a suicide attack that killed ten.[1] is reported to have killed himself in a suicide attack against an African Union base in Somalia.[2]

In 2006, the US declared a program of funding warlords in Somalia;[3] its reason for intervention in the Somali Civil War (WP) in 1991 had been to curtail and ameliorate the effects of warlords. CIA money was given to the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism. Once again, the CIA had backed a bad enough faction that it also became the least popular, and the militias of the Islamic Court Union (ICU) gained control of the country and credit for having restored peace[4] Al-Shabaab, the militant group that Abdisalan joined, was an offshoot of the Islamic Courts Union.

In late 2006, the US began the War in Somalia. The USA now backed Somalis, (Somalia was communist during much of its history), to undo the damage they had done to their own plans in 2006. In late December 2006 a United States-trained[5][3] Ethiopian invading force declared control of Somalia, calling its new puppet the Transitional Federal Government. Al Shabaab has been fighting the TFG since.

Just as they blackmail countries into doing their economic bidding, the US coerced countries into joining their Coalition to invade Iraq; the latest victim of this is the African Union; using a combination of threats and cajoling leaders' self-interest against Jihadist groups which are outside their control, they have gotten the African Union now to do their own dirty work, that they first made so very dirty. African Union troops are now bearing the brunt of the fighting against Al-Shabaab.[6]

Somali-born, immigrant to the US Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah sold shoes out of his locker to support his family. The video of his statement, in which he urged members of his audience to not be a "couch potato" was posted by Al-Sabalaah on Somalimemo.net
