The CIA is actively engaged in ongoing operations in Somalia - with collusion by "legitimate" government (CIA-backed thugs), to ensure a plan that extends US power dominance over the Horn of Africa and the strategic passage of the Arabian Sea. With several live conflicts at once, the US profits through maintaining and exploiting chaos and disorder, as an effective way to achieve goals without full-blown miltary dominance.
In Salon.com, Glen Greenwald deconstructs much of the US noise about Somali "terrorism" in light of Scahill. He continues exposing the "coverage" of Somalia's political turmoil by NYT and LAT as CIA and State Dept stenography.:
Independently, note this amazing passage from that LA Times article, regarding how these anonymous officials learned of what they are claiming concerning an AQAP/Shabab grand alliance:
The CIA gained other information when Somali authorities allowed them to interview Shabab militants imprisoned in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, U.S. officials said. The CIA asked about the militants' ability to launch attacks outside Somalia as well as the group's command structure.
That claim presumably refers to the secret Mogadishu prison Scahill revealed, the one the CIA pays Somali agents to guard and at which they're constantly present. The notion that Somali authorities generously "allowed" the CIA to "interview" prisoners there mindlessly disseminates CIA propaganda and ignores the facts Scahill revealed: that this is effectively a U.S.-maintained-and-engineered prison. And, of course, there is no discussion of the legal and human rights repercussions of interrogating prisoners in secret facilities beyond the reach of human rights monitoring agencies, nor any discussion of the role such practices play in further spawning anti-American sentiment.
Ultimately, the exacerbating cause of conflict and turmoil throughout the region which includes Somalia and Yemen is the same as that in Central Asia - the imperial subversion and aggression by the United States, inheritor of the mantle "Evil Empire".
The US supply and a "foreign" rifle are not mutually exclusive.
The US is the WORLD'S BIGGEST supplier of AK-47 (Kalashnikov):
In returning to the Kalashnikov market, the Pentagon has shunned purchases from Russia, opting instead for AK-47 knockoffs available for sale or donation from other countriesâ(TM) stockpiles. (The true AK-47 was short lived and swiftly modified; its many variants, almost all of which the Soviet Union helped create via foreign aid, are often inaccurately called AK-47s, by now universal shorthand.)
In Afghanistan, the United States has selected the AMD-65, a short-barreled Hungarian Kalashnikov copy with a forward hand grip and futuristic muzzle, as the standard weapon of the Afghan police. It has received most of its projected 55,600 AMD-65s via its foreign military sales programs, according to data provided by Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan.... Another 10,000 Kalashnikov knockoffs were transferred in 2006 to Afghanistan from Slovenia. At least some weapons being handed out, based on an examination of the shipping containers and rifles this spring in Afghanistan, are inexpensive Chinese clones.
Similarly, in Iraq (which once had its own Kalashnikov plant, built with Communist help) the United States scrounged or purchased more than 185,000 Kalashnikov-style rifles and light machine guns for Iraqi security forces from 2003 and 2006, according to the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction.
Oh. And the whole "climate science" angle is just there to recruit the liberal/progressive sentiment into supporting more neo-colonial imperial adventure.
"Hey, no time or money to create jobs, you guys. We have to invade AFRICA and save THE PLANET!"
"Thanks to half a century of pouring US arms stockpiles into Africa, the price of an assault rifle in Africa has for some time been cheaper than anyplace else on the planet."
Somali "piracy" is the outcome of the illegal, exhaustive, industrialised over-fishing of Somali waters, by foreign fleets - leaving the coastal towns without any livelihood.
The US manufactures foreign wars and "terrorists" the same way it used to lead in the creation of Automobiles and heavy manufacturing. But remember your Gibbon: The decline of Rome was seeded from its very rise on world's stage.

Jeremy Scahill exposed many details of the latest specific CIA activities - including secret prisons and torture - in The Nation, last week.

It's being kept that way.
The "civil war" is largely a creation of foreign and now AFRICOM interference.
