Hardly politics - I'm not advocating voting for anybody or selling an ideology.
I thought it was good background reading for that part of the world, especially, as the article states, it is mostly ignored in the western media. We would all like to go to Somalia, but this article to me gives good background to the current conflist and thus the unlikelyhood of us being able to do so in the near future.
Surely part of the point of traveling is to understand the world better, and I believe that the article helped me to understand the conflicts in that area (and the rest of the world) better.
Sorry if you object to my posting, there are plenty of similiar ones on the situations in places like Algeria & Chad on other parts of this site.
