A permanent feature of capitalism, are the proxy wars being waged over the planet, fueled by religious extremism and the fall-out of military misadventures by the raw material raiding, of the dominant capitalist players.
This is not featuring as a major event on the main news stories on western media. It was buried in a corner on the BBC, the day it happened.
A massive bomb attack in a busy area of the Somali capital Mogadishu has killed at least 85 people, officials say.
Dozens more were wounded when a lorry packed with explosives detonated near the entrance of a hotel on Saturday.
It is one of the deadliest attacks in Somalia since the Islamist al-Shabab group launched its insurgency in 2007.
It is not clear who staged the attacks. Mogadishu is a regular target for al-Shabab, which is battling the government.

Commentary and analysis to persuade people to become socialist and to act for themselves, organizing democratically and without leaders, to bring about a world of common ownership and free access. We are solely concerned with building a movement of socialists for socialism. We are not reformists with a programme of policies to patch up capitalism.

The figure is now 230 killed and the death toll will climb higher as the injured and wounded die in those hard-pressed and under-equipped local hospitals
276 people killed and hundreds seriously injured is the latest figure.
