Somalia has the perfect ecosystem for endless war: European mercenaries, pirates, Al Qaeda jihadists, weapon smugglers, drought and hunger. We enter an absurd, anarchic reality where warlords will switch allegiances to gain security and stability, again to make profit and perhaps again for religious conviction. We meet with one of the ‘good' warlords whose troop of mercenaries are working for the local government for now. His militia was the only one that could win the Islamists from Al Shabab, but in Somalia, loyalty is with the clan and not with the State. We venture into one of the refugee camps for the internally displaced, the result of an exodus that has displaced almost two million Somalis. With the highest child mortality rate in the world - Islamists prohibited vaccinations as they considered them part of a Western conspiracy - to add to their troubles, alongside war, hunger, disease and the threat of kidnap - Somalia can be considered the most dangerous country in the world.

I googled the Defense minister in the documentary and learnt he served from 2011 to 2012 so that is how old this documentary is. Mogadishu is slightly better now but definitely not a place to go for vacation.

Gracias Dios, por mi familia, mi madre, mi padre, mi cultura, mi país.

The reporting of the error is a manifestation of hatred, and that is your custom.

This is was old, I think between 2007 and 2010 bacuase Mogadishu now it's different

Can you please release a copy narrated in English? I really do enjoy your documentaries and videos but I like to listen whilst working, thus not able to read subtitles. I know…first world problems. But it would be so much appreciated!

Primero hay que darles anticonceptivos. Implante anticonceptivo, salpingoclasias, vasectomías, etc. Después alimentos

Why bring children to suffer there?

Not now

Old footage Mogadishu is different

To conceive a baby in this hole is simply incomprehensible.
