Al Qaeda in Somalia

To be honest, I had no idea what was going on at the beginning of this article. I guess I don’t understand if the New York Times is trying to tell me that Americans are in Somalia dressed as Al Qaeda leaders. I don’t understand who is in the country taking people for their armies and who gave them food. What I do understand is that famine is not okay. I know that food security is one of the basic human securities everyone deserves. Whether it’s drought or not, someone should be in there making sure everyone has enough food to live. I know that it is not okay that 750,000 people are expected to die due to in within the next few months. I do know that the pictures we saw yesterday and the pictures of these people were leaked to us and other countries are not okay. It makes me think that our government is doing something wrong..that we are selfish and that something needs to change. This famine is not okay. Someone needs to help.
