Saudis Zio-Wahhabi splurging to rally support against Iran

NOVANEWS Press TV Saudi Zio-Wahhabi pledged the Somali government USD 50 million in aid on the same day Mogadishu declared it had severed ties with Iran, a report says. According to a document from the Zio-Wahhabi embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, to the embassy of Somalia there, the regime in Riyadh pledged USD 20 million in budget support to Mogadishu and USD 30 million for investment in the African country, Reuters reported Sunday. The news agency quoted diplomats as saying that the financial support is “the latest sign of patronage used by the kingdom to shore up regional support against Iran.” “The Saudis currently manage to rally countries behind them both on financial grounds and the argument of non-interference,” a diplomat said. Iran has repeatedly denied the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi allegati...

CIA Plotting Mall-Related Terror Attacks

NOVANEWS Will Likely Scapegoat Al Shabaab and/or ISIS AUTHOR’S NOTE: Because I, David Chase Taylor, am currently in the process of applying for political asylum inSwitzerland, which is coincidentally home to the CIA, the state-sponsored terror plots and so-called “natural disasters” I expose rarely come to fruition. In short, the Swiss CIA does not want to afford me any more publicity or credibility than they have to, lest they turn me into a modern-day prophet. They also do not want to provide yet another open-and-shut case as to why I deserve political asylum. For those wondering why I would apply for political asylum in Switzerland, consider this: a) I originally applied for asylum in Switzerland on March 8, 2011, roughly 2-years before I discovered that Switzerland was harboring the...

Al Shabaab Benefited from Western Destruction of Libyan State

NOVANEWS By Robert Barsocchini Global Research Al Shabaab, the Islamic terrorist group that has just laid siege to a Kenyan university, killing nearly 150 people, benefited from the 2011 Western aggression that backed al Qaeda and affiliated militias to destroy the state of Libya: The Telegraph: Libyan arms that went missing during the fighting to remove Col Muammar Gaddafi are now spreading even further afield… The new report by a special UN security council committee suggests that they have now travelled even further, with Libyan ammunition showing up in the continuing war being waged by al-Shabab [pictured above], an al-Qaeda offshoot in Somalia.

Al-SHABAAB, Somali Zio-Wahhabi Terrorist calls for lone wolf attacks

NOVANEWS On Shopping Malls in the West Zio-Wahhabi al-Qaeda branch in Somalia released a video Saturday celebrating the September 2013 attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, that killed 60 people in a four-day siege. In the 66-minute video, al-Shabaab calls for attacks on specific targets in the U.S., Canada, and Britain. “If just a handful of mujahedeen [militant jihadists] fighters could bring Kenya to a complete standstill for nearly a week, just imagine what the dedicated mujahedeen could do in the West to American or Jewish shopping centers across the world,” a masked gunman says toward the end of the video. “What if such an attack were to occur in the Mall of America in Minnesota? Or the West Edmonton Mall in Canada? Or in London’s Oxford Street?” The video ra...

Somalia’s future befouled by failed initiatives

NOVANEWS Mohamud M Uluso Nearly two decades of foreign interventions have failed to build peace or a viable state. International engagement has served to deepen the humanitarian and political crisis in Somalia. Despite an unprecedented number of foreign interventions particularly since 2000, Somalia lingers on as a failed state, which is a threat to the international peace and security. The installation of a permanent federal government in 2012 and the victories over the terrorist group Al Shabab did not change Somalia’s misfortune because Somalia’ future is befouled by the outcomes of failed peace processes or initiatives. Foreign actors decided to welcome and applaud disreputable and lately unconstitutional agreements that sully Somali politics. Wittingly or unwittingly, they are deepe...

US Confirms Years-Long “Secret” Military Presence in Somalia

NOVANEWS Troops have been on the ground since 2007 - Nadia Prupis (Photo: Expert Infantry/Flickr/Creative Commons) U.S. "unnamed officials" confirmed to Reuters on Thursday that over a hundred military troops have been operating covertly in Somalia since 2007. The mission, according to the government's narrative, is to help Somalia fend off attacks from the al-Qaeda linked terrorist group al Shabab, which has been fighting the country's UN-backed government for years. The confirmation, however, was received skeptically by some who have monitored U.S. military operations in Somalia in recent years. As independent journalist Marcy Wheeler tweeted in response to the reporting: The CIA has been known to operate on the ground in the country for years and the Bureau of Investigative J...

We can’t just sit on the sidelines and let this happen, and neither can the Obama ad...
