AT FIRST glance Somalia’s foreign-backed government seems to be
doing well. In the past two years it has benefited from the recovery of
the country’s main cities by African Union peacekeepers after two
decades of clan warfare and intermittent Islamist rule. And on June 29th
the government pulled off something of a coup by locking up the
grandfather of militant Islamism in Somalia, Sheikh Hassan Dahir, better
known as Aweys. The red-bearded 78-year-old may be the victim of
infighting in the Shabab, an al-Qaeda-linked movement that is steadily
losing power but can still cause mayhem with suicide-bombings here and
there.
