Somalia Media

October 1993
An assessment of the impact media coverage has had on the war in Somalia.
American stomachs were turned by pictures of mutilated American soldiers dragged through the streets. American troops were quickly ordered home. Not so widely seen pictures of an American attack on a meeting house prompted a similar about-turn in Somali public opinion. Minutes after the attack four journalists were hacked to death by furious mobs. Ahmed Hassan, the man who made the video, tells how he was surprised by the effect his video had on the fighting. Somalis now taunt UN tanks by parking their cars in front of them and some fear that when the UN finally goes home there will be no media left in Somalia to turn World public opinion.

This is a very good report... one of the few that shows the somali side.

just leave them to ... ( 1 month ago by scaredweepel)
just leave them to fight amongst themselves - Most of them look like they enjoy the fighting anyway - After 10 years nothing has changed just more and more deaths which their happy to create. They want foreign help - then that's not good enough - they want food - they don't want food - they want more help - they fight to stop that.
Why should we care for people who don't even care for themselves! I'd be more than happy to help but why bother!

oh piss of please.
Those who live in civilised countries and who genuinely want peace have tried, but it seems this country is hell bent on fighting forever.
Good luck to them.
only feel for the non combatants.
tell them to sell their guns and buy some books. maybe their life might improve

Your the dumb fuck who responded to the wrong comment! Besides, your initial comment was so inaccurate that it was more than worth correcting, Get your pea brain head out of the shit hole you crawl in and be informed, otherwise.
NEVER give your ignorant, asinine opinion. For now, just keep giving your opinion to objects of similar intelligence, such as but not limited to: a chair, a rock, dog shit, etc.
