An insurgency by Al-Qaida allied Al-Shabaab militants and terror group threatens the bleak future of Somalia.
There is indeed an insurgency and Al-Shabaab have reinvented their terror strategy, striking AMISOM bases with a wild abandon, and killing people, government officials, and striking neighboring countries
Famine worsens the situation, rains have failed, and there is indeed little economic activity to sustain lives in the war torn country.
Inflation and an upward surge in food prices threatens the people of Somalia more than ever, humanitarian organizations allege.
Insurgency and Famine Could Water Peace and Anti-Al-Shabaab Gains
Al-Shabaab has enjoyed the bad times, it is their season for recruiting new militants. They use food and money as ablution and in return, you follow their cause since they are the only reliable source of reprieve.
They will block food aid to famine stricken area, kidnap aid workers and oppress the affected until they yield and submit to their cause.
Somalia experienced a devastating famine in 2011 in which 250,000 people died and it could be repeated if enough efforts are not put in place.
So far in 2014, the strategic response plan for Somalia program has received only 15 per cent of the US$933 million requested, a shortfall of $790 million.
