#1 One of these days this is going to be a new base for terror. Crush it now while it's later and reap the dividends later.

#2 The turbins have outlawed Qat {khat} for Ramadan? Boy, things ought to get interesting in the rump state of Somalia about a week into that : speed junkies get MEAN when you cut them off.

#6 I was under the impression that qat/khat is a mild hallucinogen and depressant? I can't imagine speed junkies lolling about all day, cow like, chewing large mouthfuls of green leaves and dribbling green goo over themselves without caring, as qat chewers in Yemen are reputed to do.

Then give them more ammo or bigger guns.

Yeah, and cutting off the use of khat is really gonna make these Islamics the center of attention. And I don't mean that in a good way.
