Somalia and Al Qaeda

Honestly, when I heard the words "Al Qaeda" and "Somalia" in the same sentence I thought there had to be some sort of mistake. With Somalia going through this extremely horrible drought, I didn't think that a well known terrorist group would be helping them by giving them humanitarian aid. It seems to be a little backwards, seeing as Al Qaeda is probably the most well known terrorist group in the world, and they're not known for lending a helping hand. I also think its strange that Abu Abdulla Almuhajir is supposedly white. It seems like Al Qaeda is trying to make themselves look good by sending aid to Somalia, which I think there is something a little off there. I think that if Al Qaeda is going to do this, they should do it because they feel bad for the millions of starving people, not to recruit child soldiers. That is absolutely wrong of them to even try to do when thousands of people are dying each day. The people of Somalia have been starving for such a long time, they aren't going to realize that they are being taken advantage of by Al Qaeda. It's extremely sad to me to think that the poor starving people of Somalia are being tricked/taken advantage of by Al Qaeda.
