Somalias Suffering, 6 minutes, 2008 (Ref: 625) |

Since the US-backed
Ethiopian troops took Mogadishu, roadside bombs have
become a daily event and it isn't safe after the
explosions. Instead of a coalition and a green zone
as there is in Baghdad, there is nothing in Somalia
to shield the people from the violence. Among those
killed by the bombs are those killed by the
gunfights. There is no way of verifying the numbers
and many families have fled taking with them only
stories of missing loved ones. Madina hospital is
the only place in Mogadishu to go to if you get
caught in the crossfire. The wounded compete for
places with the sick. For thousands of Somalis the
choice is no longer a difficult one so they brave
the scrubland on the outskirts of the city rather
then gamble on daily life in the capital.
