How China Can Bring Peace to Somalia, Drastically Reducing the Colonial US – EU Intrusion

In a previous article entitled "China to Reach Out to Somalia’s Islamic Opposition" (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/102866), I stated that "China has many reasons – beyond a definite historical solidarity – to stretch a hand to the Somali Opposition, establish a contact with them, and thus acquire a firm basis in Eastern Africa".

In this article, I will further expand on the issue.

Key tools of the colonial / postcolonial rule

If China wants to definitely reduce and/or eliminate the Anglo-French colonial and the US postcolonial infiltration in Africa – or at last some key and influential African countries, it is essential for Beijing to identify the basic means and key tools of the colonial / postcolonial rule. They are the following:

1. Denial of the notions of historical continuity, cultural authenticity, national integrity to all the targeted nations of Africa

2. Formation of a fake African Historiography / History - whereby every one of the aforementioned notions is severely violated and a sophisticated falsification of the historical – political truth has been fabricated and replaced them

3. Establishment of fake nations / countries without historical continuity, cultural authenticity, national integrity that are thus predestined to get engaged in civil wars, tyranny, and subsequently, socio-economic underdevelopment

4. Foundation of false, disastrous, unjust and most loathed borders geared to
a. separate different segments of the same nation into two or even three countries and
b. congregate within one country diverse nations and forcefully assimilate them with a favorite, "elected" nation – ally.

5. Formation of a wide array of fake countries that appear to be independent without truly being so. This helps the colonial / postcolonial establishments set up theatrical developments through their continuous interventions (through use of embassies, consulates, chambers of commerce and institutes) and their detailed planning of the developments to come, according to their own interests and against the indigenous nations’ interests.

6. Projection of preconceived dogmas, alien cultures, and foreign educational systems on these fake, postcolonial countries; methodic diffusion of these "exported goods" throughout the fake, postcolonial countries of Africa

7. Education and formation of the various local elites in foreign capitals, notably those of the colonizing powers, whereby the selected and/or recommended African students learn always only what the colonial country’s academia, diplomats and administration desire them to know in order to become full use actors and performers of the colonial dependence

Sudan can offer a measure of understanding in this regard, precisely because the country has better relations with China than with the UK, the Commonwealth, and the US.

Despite this significant fact, a comparison between two groups of Sudanese students abroad brings forth an impressive result that goes in the opposite direction. The number of Sudanese students enrolled in universities in the UK, the Commonwealth, and the US in 2009 is far higher than that of Sudanese students registered in Chinese universities. This is quite telling.

The comparison at the linguistic level would be absolutely detrimental; any effort to compare the penetration of Chinese and English in Sudan is futile.

8. Second class integration of the colonially educated elites into associations, organizations, societies and other socio-professional, ideological – political, and spiritual formations whereby the selected elites of the colonized countries are being totally disoriented, acculturated, depersonalized and dehumanized, while befriending with the colonizers.

9. Every aspect of political, economic, military, diplomatic, administrative, educational and academic cooperation between a colonized African country and the colonial metropolises presupposes and hinges on the aforementioned.

Elements of A Genuine Chinese Approach to African – Asiatic Partnership

How can China truly penetrate in Africa, and gradually but solidly, markedly and irreversibly substitute the European colonial involvement with an Asiatic – African partnership that both Russia and India seem totally unable to imagine – let alone contextualize?

A holistic approach to Africa, targeting a multifaceted and endurable partnership, must go far beyond the current rather opportunistic cooperation with some regimes whose existence will always be beneficial to the Colonial West – either these regimes cooperate with China or not.

The Chinese approach to Africa cannot start but with the total, complete, and comprehensive rejection of the colonial myths, interpretational tools and schemes, biases and falsehoods.

It must be conceived on two dimensions, temporal and spatial. It will simply be ineffective and provisory to assume that any country in the world could possibly outmaneuver the 200 – 250 year-long plans, plots and deeds of the European colonial powers in just …. 10 or 20 years. A really serious and multidimensional project should be viewed as escalated over several phases up to at least 40 to 50 years.

The geo-strategic space that the Chinese will attribute to their approach to Africa matters even more determinately. Targeted as the world’s most populous country, envied because of its economic growth (that makes many economists anticipate that China will be the world economy no 1 relatively soon), besieged in its effort to set up an effective political – military cooperation (by means of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization), and loathed because of its dedication to continental landmass policy making, China has to face plans and plots of the colonial establishments (London, Paris and Washington) that have always interpreted their historical rise to global supremacy as justification of their erroneous perception of the Ancient Greek History, and of their false conceptualization of the "landmass imperial despotism" as opposed to the "maritime democratic pluralism".

Of course, nothing is more demented than this vicious academic and diplomatic schematization; however, this is how the monstrous, criminal, inhuman and tyrannical, pseudo-democracies of the West have propagated their false, treacherous and paranoid version of World History. And this simplistic and Manichaean approach determines their evil, secretive and hidden rulers’ thoughts and their policy making.

To properly outmaneuver the fallacy of the aforementioned simplistic schematization, China has to view the Black Continent as an extension of the Asiatic landmass and figure out several devices through which Beijing will detach Africa from the evil clutches of the EU, the NATO, and the EMP (what a laugh! "Euro-Mediterranean Partnership").

The issue is vast, but the beginning will be made with the identification of some solid partners ready for a great anti-colonial alliance of Asia and Africa against the perfidious and racist, colonial powers of Western Europe and North America.

Somalia could definitely be a new case of Chinese penetration in Africa. The country has no representative governmental authority. Appointed through typically colonial procedures, TFG president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed represents only Somalia’s most recent frustration.

Whereas many had hoped that he would be able to lead the beleaguered nation to the much desired termination of the civil war and the ensuing end of the political multi-division, the gullible and politically inexperienced sheikh led the country to a stalemate in a characteristically brief span of time.

Measures China Should Take to Restore Peace in Somalia

1. Establish a contact, negotiate an agreement, and support the Islamic Opposition as expressed by the three sheikhs, Hassan Dahir Aweys, Hassan Turki, and Mukhtar Robow.

It will be essential in this regard for China to support diplomatically the three sheikhs’ demand for immediate removal of the most loathed AMISOM soldiers who represent occupation forces and constitute the first step for the later deployment of a NATO – UN-led force that will institutionalize the final demolition of the national Somali statehood.

If Beijing finds it propitious to see the Horn of Africa transformed into an immense NATO military basis serving for the storage and the launching of nuclear missiles against China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Iran and / or Pakistan, then we can be assured that further Chinese inactivity with respect to Somalia will greatly contribute to the successful materialization of the project in question.

2. China’s support can take beforehand the form of withdrawal of recognition of the TFG president and government who are the mere puppets of the colonial powers, the regimes of Paris, London and Washington who appointed them through shameful bribery and forceful involvement.

With respect to China’s role in Africa, it would essential for Beijing to side with the local majorities of indigenous peoples who have been massacred and threatened with cultural, spiritual and physical genocides.

There is no reason for fear of any eventual comparison with Tibet that could be publicized by China’s opponents and antagonists. Tibet has always been within the cultural and political circumference of China whereas Algeria’s Berbers, Sudan’s Bejas, and Abyssinia’s Oromos have never had anything in common with the typically colonial pan-Arabist and pan-Ethiopianist regimes of the aforementioned three countries.

In this regard, it would be essential for Beijing to strengthen China’s European policy; if Tibet "should" secede from China, then certainly Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales should also get independent from England. Similarly, France should be abolished with the parallel secession of Brittany, Corsica, Occitania, Bask land (Euskadi), and – notably – Polynesia in the South Pacific where France unreservedly contributed to disastrous environmental collapse due to the nuclear tests of its ridiculous, otherwise insignificant, and absolutely theatrical "force de frappe".

3. Logistics support will also be critical for China to grant to the Somali Opposition that despite the political rhetoric is far closer to patriotic ideologies than to religious conservatism – contrarily to the evil propaganda set up by the colonial powers.

4. Working with the Somali Opposition, China could offer the disoriented world community a plan for the termination of the Somali piracy phenomenon, greatly increasing Beijing’s military presence in the Horn of Africa region.

5. China’s support to Somalia’s three sheikhs of the Patriotic Islamic Opposition today does not mean direct contribution to the rise of an Islamist regime in Somalia – as false Western journalism shamelessly suggests. With the elimination of the unrepresentative TFG regime (which is the puppet of the colonial powers of the West), with the elimination of the Somali piracy, and with the much demanded absorption and/or eradication of the administrations of Puntland and Somaliland, the path will open for all the Somalis to convene a Constitutive Assembly and to proclaim free constitutional elections whereby all the Somalis will have the opportunity to vote. This will certainly put an obstacle in the materialization of the plans of the few really radical elements who would support a strictly religious policy-making that does not reflect the wishes of the majority of the Somalis.

6. China’s strategic alliance with the three sheikhs of the Somali Opposition will offer Beijing the double advantage of a basis for further penetration in Africa, involving notably the demolition of the colonial tyranny of Abyssinia (Fake ‘Ethiopia), and a critical threshold to the central part of the Middle East, which means an influential role in every resolution of regional conflicts – existing and forthcoming.

7. With China’s contribution to the reaffirmation of the Somali nationhood and statehood, after 18 years of Anti-Somali complot and colonial conspiracy, China’s role and image will improve tremendously among all the oppressed African nations who will turn to Beijing for support, bringing thus a considerable damage to the colonial grip over Africa.
