Vanguard correspondents Christof Putzel and Kaj Larsen first ventured to
Somalia in the summer of 2006 during a brief period of fragile stability.
They discovered that peace reigned in the capital for a few weeks after 15
years of bloody civil war in what the world labeled a failed state.
Shortly after they left the country, however, Ethiopian forces backed by US
air power invaded Somalia to drive the ruling Islamic Court Union out of the
capital, Mogadishu. Somalia plunged back into war.
Threatened by renewed violence and devastating poverty, countless Somalis
once again fled their homes in search of peace and security. Tens of
thousands try to escape in small boats across the dangerous Gulf of Aden. As
Christof and Kaj found on a return to the region, many don't make it, and
those who do face an uncertain future in the vast, alien desert of Yemen.

Ruthless drug cartels in Mexico are battling against each other and against the government for control of the drug trade. 2008 was the most violent year in Mexico, with around 6,000 drug-related murders. 2009 looks like it could be even worse. And there are fears that Mexico's narco-violence could spread north of the border into the U.S. In this one-hour Vanguard report, Laura Ling travels to the border towns of Juarez and Tijuana, Mexico where drugs gangs are fighting for control of the drug routes into the United States. Ling also goes to the city of Culiacan in Sinaloa State, a region that's known as the birthplace of narco-trafficking in Mexico. Despite the 40,000 federal troops that are patrolling cities across Mexico, violence is increasing and the methods of killings are becoming even more brazen and grotesque. Ling speaks with gun dealers in El Paso, Texas and U.S. officials about the illegal smuggling of weapons into Mexico--90% of the weapons seized in Mexico have been traced back to the U.S. She examines the culture of corruption and lack of public trust in a police force that has become known for working with the cartels.
