The politics around Somalia
This Tuesday 22 May we explore the situation in Somalia. The country has struggled to form a central government since the overthrow of Siyad Barre in 1991. The current government was constituted outside of Somalia and is largely ineffective as it still struggles to establish itself.
Recently, Ethiopia sent its forces into Somalia with the help of the United States to push out the Islamic Courts Union from Baladweyne and Mogadishu.
The Africa Union is trying to bring stability to the country and yet it is struggling to get commitment from other member countries whose budgets are overstretched for the mission. Uganda has contributed 1600 of the 8000 soldiers needed. The conflict does not seem to be subsiding. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?
Listen live on 105.5 FM in Toronto or online on www.chry.fm worldwide as we discuss with Africans conversant with the situation on the ground.
