Quick question to the supporters of the war in Muqdisho. What achievement has come out of this? How can one take pride in whats going in Muqdisho as victory, as if anything was gained other then Somalia being labeled as the #1 humanitarian crisis in Africa surpassing DARFUR? When I watched "Darfur Now" I was so appalled and sadden by whats going on there so how can we really just watch whats going on in our own country and look at it as a loss of one clan and victory of another. I do not support any entity, and I am far from supporting maxkamad/asmara camp/shabab and what not, my point is not a political one I am just thinking of those helpless masaakiin mothers, kids, grandparents, the sick, the crippled, and psychological affected humans and if any of you do not feel remorse just think of your loved ones in those situations.

VATICAN CITY (AFP) - Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday deplored the humanitarian crisis in Somalia where at least one million people have fled violence, and urged global intervention to help end the fighting.
"The sad news comes to us on the subject of the fragility of the humanitarian situation in Somalia, especially in Mogadishu, still the most affected by insecurity and poverty," the pope said at his weekly general audience at the Vatican.
"I am anxiously following developments and I call on those who have political responsibilities on the local and international levels to seek peaceful solutions that can bring relief to these people," he added.
"I encourage the efforts of those who, despite the insecurity and difficulties, stay in this region to bring aid and relief to the inhabitants," the pontiff said.
Some 600,000 people have fled the war-wracked Somali capital since February, bringing the total number of people displaced inside the country to a "staggering one million," the UN refugee agency said Tuesday.
