Vanguard correspondent Christof Putzel has reported on the failed state of Somalia since 2006 -- but the chaos in the east African nation dates back almost 20 years. Fighting between forces of the Transitional Federal Government and terrorist group Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu continues. More than 230 civilians were killed and at least 400 more were wounded over a two week period.
In this exclusive update, Christof breaks down the current situation in Somalia and talks about why Al-Shabaab -- which has claimed responsibility for both a major suicide attack in Somalia that targeted members of parliament and a bombing at a popular expatriate cafe in Uganda during the World Cup -- should be taken very seriously.
"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.

As George Bush decided to declare war on terrorism then proceeded to define terrorism anything is possible. However maybe its time to realise that attacking a country does not eliminate the terrorists there (who in this case are funded by private individuals not the government) and indeed just fuels their cause.
Attacking Saudi would just create more terrorists. - 1 year ago
