• Ken Menkhaus is a political science professor at North Carolina’s Davidson College and a former political advisor to the UN Operation in Somalia. Ken has a new report out called, “Somalia: A Country in Peril, A Policy Nightmare.” In the report, Ken says, “US counterterrorism policies have not only compromised other international agendas in Somalia, they have generated a high level of anti-Americanism and are contributing to radicalisation of the population … In what could become a dangerous instance of blowback, defence and intelligence operations intended to make the United States more secure from the threat of terrorism may be increasing the threat of jihadist attacks on American interests.” You can find Ken’s report at the Enough Project’s web site (http://www.enoughproject.org/).
