That sort of tacks onto the three questions re: Understanding the Enemy on the thread of that name. "Why are we doing this" really needs a thorough look.

I suppose in one sense pressing the 'Somali authorities' sort of has to be done but to state it as a step that is in any way likely to provide a meaningful result is deluded.

Far more importantly, without explanation or clarification, it can and likely will set up a false expectation in the minds of many -- who will complain loudly when it does little good and other, harsher measures need to be taken...
