Price of charity: Somalia
Article Abstract:
The relief agencies that are trying to stem the brutal consequences of the 1992 famine in Somalia must deal with the nation's warlords, who control access to the country's interior. Some warlords, such as Muhammad Nor Shodok, are relatively benign, but Muhammad Farah Aideed is recalcitrant.

Article Abstract:
Food relief to Somalia is failing because it is being seized by soldiers and thieves before it can get to the starving children. The only solution is to send a huge abundance of food there so that it becomes less of a commodity and can be given to all who need it.

Death by looting: Somalia
Article Abstract:
The international food relief effort in war-torn Somalia is being hampered by criminals who steal the supplies at gunpoint. Anarchy and violence prevail in Mogadishu, where heavily armed guerrillas make everyone unsafe, even as civilians die of starvation.
