Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As this overview seeks to remind the reader, the United States had a military presence in Somalia from December 1992 to the end of March 1994. A principal aim of the authors was to provide an analytical narrative of each phase of the US military involvement in Somalia. The authors address planning for a multinational intervention; workable and unworkable command and control arrangements; the advantages and problems inherent in coalition operations; the need for cultural awareness in a clan-based society whose status as a nation-state is problematic; the continuous adjustments required by a dynamic, often unpredictable situation; the political dimension of military activities at the operational and tactical levels; and the ability to match military power and capabilities to the mission at hand. This case study also cautions against the misuse of "lessons learned."

Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her.

He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.
Download or read book Jihad Co written by Aisha Ahmad and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two decades, militant jihadism has been one of the world's most pressing security crises. In civil wars and insurgencies across the Muslim world, certain Islamist groups have taken advantage of the anarchy to establish political control over a broad range of territories and communities. In effect, they have built radical new jihadist proto-states. Why have some ideologically-inspired Islamists been able to build state-like polities out of civil war stalemate, while many other armed groups have failed to gain similar traction? What makes jihadists win? In Jihad & Co., Aisha Ahmad argues that there are concrete economic reasons behind Islamist success. By tracking the economic activities of jihadist groups in Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Mali, and Iraq, she uncovers an unlikely actor in bringing Islamist groups to power: the local business community. To illuminate the nexus between business and Islamist interests in civil war, Ahmad journeys into war-torn bazaars to meet with both jihadists and the smugglers who financed their rise to power. From the arms markets in the Pakistani border region to the street markets of Mogadishu, their stories reveal a powerful economic logic behind the rise of Islamist power in civil wars. Behind the fiery rhetoric and impassioned, ideological claims is the cold, hard cash of the local war economy. Moving readers back and forth between mosques, marketplaces, and battlefields, Ahmad makes a powerful argument that economic savvy, as much as ideological fervor, explains the rise of militant jihadism across the modern Muslim world.

Download or read book The God Men Clan written by Yogi and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If nature hates violence, why is the land so parched for blood? If civilizations are to ensure safety and equality, why did slaves build them? If wars are bad, why do walls breed rebels? The long history of humankind owes a lot of its stories to great people that lived, rebelled, and shook civilizations for what they were, and our world today worships them for the Gods they were. People of great valour kept our lives safe, great artists became our medium of preserving time, and mere mortals moved mountains with bare hands and clans built cities with just blunt rocks. They, are our Gods today. One such tale of a God, a God that stands at the epicenter of the linguistic, cultural, religious and creative waves of the long-living Thamizh folk. The God-Men Clan is the story of a mere mortal, if you will. It is the story of the God of War, if I may.
