الصومال: سنوات من الحروب و المجاعات Mogadishu, #Somalia: A one-legged boy stands with his crutches and watches American soldiers patrol along the Green Line, which was a heavily contested area during the civil war. In the 1980s a civil war erupted in Somalia when warlord factions joined together to overthrow then president Siad Barre, who finally lost power in 1991. Since then power struggles between warlords have ravaged the country with famine and violence.

هل رأيت صورة حية للموت في الصومال #Somalia يا الله ارحمهم و اغر لنا صمتنا Mulmillo (L) closes the eyes of her two-year-old son Mahmud moments after he died from malnutrition and related complications at a local hospital in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on August 15, 2011. Mulmillo, her husband and three children fled their village in the Lower Shabelle region of southern Somalia and came to Mogadishu in search for a refuge from a severe drought in the region. More than 100,000 people have fled to Mogadishu from other drought-struck Somalia regions in search of food and water, but insecurity in one of the world’s most dangerous cities is hampering aid flows. Some 12 million people in parts of Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda and Somalia are in danger of starvation in the wake of the region’s worst drought in decades. AFP PHOTO / ROBERTO SCHMIDT #
