World Food Program Halts Aid in Southern Somalia
The UN's World Food Program recently shut most of its operations in southern Somalia. Although WFP officials say they worry about people going hungry, the organization says conditions became impossible because of ongoing insurgencies in the country. It's another blow for Somalia which has not had a functioning central government since 1991. Mariama Diallo has a report on the situation.
