[Channel 4 News] Somalia: A step away from famine 2008.05.16

By John Sparks:

An upsurge in fighting in war-ravaged Somalia has triggered a food shortage affecting 2.6 million people.

It has already been called the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa. And now the United Nations says the situation in Somalia is about to get much worse, with vast swathes of the country just a step away from famine.

Somalia has been without a proper government since 1992. But an upsurge in fighting has helped to trigger a catastrophic food shortage affecting 2.6 million people.

Last week Channel 4 News sent a cameraman to a clinic for malnourished children on the edge of Mogadishu.

@Keezih Sir, i must apologize to you. I've done alot of research the past few wks about my Gov't, the illuminati and the "New World Order" that is already in place. I've learned that Islamic extremists didn't orchestrate 9/11, that my government has lied to me and that i am a brainwashed puppet of a society of wealthy bankers that are on the verge of controlling the world. the Euro, Europe's new money is just the beginning of the end for the world i know. I"m sorry for my ignorance. I now know

@jaydog7575

Oh so Ethiopians arent killing and raping people in Oromo and Ogaden region of Ethiopia? so the scramble for Africa didnt kill millions of Africans? You are using stupid information about Extremists. Extremists are not muslim, extremists chop peoples heads off not the muslims. Your name fits you Jaydog = which means your a slave. Wasn't world war 1 and 2 caused by Christians? they killed eachother millions of them died. You lack brain :)

@jaydog7575

I would if America didnt fuck up my country because they want oil, I bet Somalia is 10x more beatiful than your country could ever be. Who said I wanted to cut ur head off? I dont need to do antyhing ur already a slave of USA and the West so no need for me to do anything. If Islam was the root of problems then why haven't they done any problems to the West its only the West whom have made problems to Islam. Jesus the way of slaves, that is true.

@jaydog7575

...... you know what Somalis need? for you and your government and the Western countries to get the fuck out of Somalia and stop sending money to Ethiopia so they can invade Somalia everytime. Moron. I cant believe that ur actually believing your own government haha how stupid can you get?

@thunderflash82

.....guess where your brains at, yep in the trash can.

Get info why its corrupted before you start speaking bullshit. Their trying to get independence because their slaves of Ethiopia and the white man still. They fight to be slaves, we fight for freedom. The white man corrupted our country and our nothern brothers is trying to help them. How stupid can they be?

Yes, this is just a US plan to get some more free oil like they do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Keezih]

@jaydog7575

Wow what a retard you are hahah, you believe your own government.

Your government created the civil war to begin with in your search to get free oil from Somalia and Ethiopia came in and attacked Somalia when it was at peace and was flourishing. Their reason was that muslims or for them 'Terrorists/Al-Qaida' w.e was in the country. You and your government is just stating bullshit while corrupting countries like Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq etc.
