1993 Interview on current U.S. actions in Somalia with Walter Turner, Producer of Africa Press Review on KPFA, History Professor at UC Berkeley, President of Global Exchange. Turner illuminates the role of U.S. intervention in Somalia over the past several decades. He notes the Cold War implications of U.S. African policy, a "football," particularly noting the switch of U.S. alliance from Somalia to Ethiopia during the war between those nations in the late 1970's. He also describes the ethnic make-up of Somalia and how the colonial legacy of ethnic division fosters current power struggles. He raises doubts about the "humanitarian" nature of U.S. intervention in Somalia because it appears by all counts to be a military intervention. He sees U.S. policies as the root cause of the crisis, both in the provision of weapons and cruel international development policies. He calls for U.N. negotiations on Somalia.
