Scahill: US is making enemies in Somalia
New evidence reveals the secret role of the CIA in Somalia. This time it's not only the case of more agents deployed in the country, but an increase of drone attacks and, most significantly, secret prisons run by the CIA. An investigative report in The Nation magazine also gives details on how the Agency trains officers among the Somali and plans missions against members of the Islamic militant group al-Shabaab, believed to have close ties to al-Qaeda. Jeremy Scahill, a national security correspondent and the author of the article, talks to RT's Kristine Frazao.

[Channel 4 News] Somalia: A step away from famine 2008.05.16
By John Sparks: An upsurge in fighting in war-ravaged Somalia has triggered a food shortage affecting 2.6 million people. It has already been called the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa. And now the United Nations says the situation in Somalia is about to get much worse, with vast swathes of the country just a step away from famine. Somalia has been without a proper government since 1992. But an upsurge in fighting has helped to trigger a catastrophic food shortage affecting 2.6 million people. Last week Channel 4 News sent a cameraman to a clinic for malnourished children on the edge of Mogadishu. (C) Channel 4 News
