In a country that has experienced over 20 years of conflict and instability, Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) struggles to advance the Djibouti Peace Process and bring stability to the war-torn nation. Terrorism, violence, and instability within the country are not only domestic concerns, but have larger regional and international implications as well. Ambassador Johnnie Carson will speak on the current situation in Somalia and long-term U.S. policy approaches to help Somalis achieve peace and stability.

And these are old men spinning the news, you know!

This is inevitable seeing Somalia is not a state in every sence of the word except deluded recognition, it can not even provide security or control its territory. The world will not let this go on forever. Just keep your eyes on the ball, keep growing economically, politically and militarially nuetralise all these jokers within us and sit back and watch alshabab take over Somalia within the next year.
