Somalia nearing a 'total famine'

Well, since the American's faked a Nazi rendition of an ancient Egyptian Temple and built the dam at Asswan to fuck up Africa's natural Eco system to feed a sunny US of A, and the Pineal Gland Diamond industry is big business for the US Nazi's with faked identity's of Jew's that were suposed to have escaped the Nazi war camp's, what other condtiion would you find a country in that's been made the scapegoat for the World's Underworld Medical Testing Industry, because all I see in the politic's is the cover up of whose really running their governments!

If famine and unemployment wasn't a problem in Somalia then you would see a massive drop in piracy.

Since the somalians' have nothing better to starve their people and attack cruise and cargo ships it's time to arm the ships with phalax automatic guns, they would soon get rid of the pirates.

If not the U.N., maybe just a voluntary coalition of willing countries. Call it a war of goodwill, and take it over and rebuild it. How could you do this and make it profitable? Does Somalia have anything of value to give us a monetary excuse to go to war for goodwill instead of goodwill being an excuse to go to war for money?

How can you restructure the world so that it's value and worth are in balance?

Am I suppose to care about things that are beyond the scope of my control and the current system or not?

There are multiple problems with the entire continent of African and they arguably stem from the days of slavery and imperialism. The people are vicious and corrupt and there are little resources to persuade other nations to help. Is there hope for Africa? AIDS, corruption, famine, TB and the list goes on and on and on...It's very underdeveloped there. Some countries have eradicated diseases that are killing Africans at alarming rates. What is keeping them so far behind the rest of the world? I also think that some people and in some places on that vast continent DO NOT want help from the rest of the world...

its another third world country on the edge of the end. don't worry Obama and the UN will fix everything

Greed is killing us all. How can people with money sleep at night.

Why are some nations so industrialized and advanced while others are on the brink of extinction?

Africa is a real mess, i just can't see how they will ever sort it... it's horrible to see!

Save....Somalia?

I hope Obama makes Africa is first official visit. That continent has cried for too long....

Somalia much better off with the Islamic leadership the US and Ethiopia kicked out.
The Islamic Republic had put an end to 15 years of civil war and the people were not starving. now the puppet govenrment is serving western interests, commercial ships are dumping their polution in the Somalian waters, the people are starving, and we are only concerned with our luxury yachts the pirates are holding.

That is the saddest headline I have seen in a long while...

Remind me to never go there. Ever.

How quickly people forget history. I seem to remember the UN sending aid to the Somalians in the early 90's. The place was as much of a shit hole then as it is now. In fact you can watch a movie about US involvement in the region. Its called Black Hawk Down.

AFRICA! AFRICA! AFRICA!

Its crazy, in a world where a man gets trampled by a crazy mob for the sake of savings on trivial crap, there is still world hunger and even worst, famine. Happy Holidays!!

Well boys she's goin down, has anyone seen the captain?

It is sad that a large portion of the entire world seems to just ignore the plight of millions on the African continent. Not only do the leaders of Africa need to step up and make the necessary decisions, the entire world should stop fighting and start helping.

The world should seriously pay attention to Somalia since its a failed state just about anything goes in the region, it is posing a threat to other nation's security because no one is controlling them.

Especially with some of the Pirates becoming stronger with the money they gain, who knows, probably they will try to seek even bigger gains not from the sea but from the surrounding regions around Somalia and possibly the international nations.

Just an assumption, but they way things are going it is unpredictable how these individuals will act

I feel horrible about the rest of the population in Somalia who are living in poverty

Yeah! Go Peace Corps!

The businesses under attack by pirates need to beef up their own security measures so US and other nation's military won't have to intervene. There's been more than enough of that lately.

justright
Pirates do 'spread the wealth' just like Robin Hood. It's how crooks stay popular with the people.
Actually, that quip cuts a lot closer to home.

I think it's unfair to prioritise problems ... we can't forget about the pirates now and just pay attention to this, but let's hope things improve

What is sad is that pirates would probably hijack an aid ship and hold it for ransom.
That area must come under control.
If India's Navy needs help, I wish they would inform the world, so that the international community can respond in force.

Keep your eyes on Somalia.
Nothing inspires mass violent uprisings more than famine.

I'm not saying that the average Somali citizen doesn't need help, but if the pirates were sharing that 150 million that they've stolen in the last year, this situation wouldn't be as dire.
