With the benefit of the passage of time @eliasamare's remarks are prophetic about what we have seen unfold over the past 10 months.
The history he recounts is well known. But is almost completely missing from mainstream media coverage of the story of this war.

@eliasamare's video has a clip of a passionate speech in the UK house of Commons from @GeorgeGalloway in 2008. Galloway's speech was prompted by a @Channel4News documentary "Somalia (2008) Dispatches - Warlords next door".

Five years later, in June 2013, during the Obama Administration Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations held hearings the next videos come from those proceedings.

@EthzemaLeader @ETHZema Here is the full video for the June 20th 2013 hearing - nearly 5 hours. (I haven't watched all this yet!!, but its interesting that it is available, would be interesting to analyse if someone has the time to do so.
Finally in this first set of videos, a must watch video for all those who are interested in understanding this conflict. @AbiyAhmedAli's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. He sets out his philosophy and experience which underlies his views on peace.
