    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was listening to the Statement of the Minister through my radio. I have also heard the last part here. I am glad that we are trying very hard to face the scourges of terrorism and the problems in our neigbouring countries. However, I seek two clarifications from the Minister’s Statement. To begin with, there are many Somali governments that have been sworn in here in Kenya. Other governments were sworn in Djibouti and one time, even some efforts were done in Ethiopia. Every time we in the region and the international community want to address the Somali issue with a view to helping the Somali people, we form a government and ask them to go to Mogadishu and establish law and order. How does the civilian politician, whose government was formed either in Nairobi or Djibouti, go back to Mogadishu and create the machinery that is supposed to maintain law and order in the place and secure the four corners of the country? The international community is supposed to help the Somali people and the Somali governments with the requisite arms and firepower that they need to defeat terrorism in that place. We have never done that before. We have not given them helicopters, we have not trained pilots for them, we have not given them armoured personnel carriers and basic armaments. They go with AK-47 rifles and the insurgents also have the AK-47s. This is a clear indication that the international community has no interest in establishing a viable government in Somalia---"
