African Current Event: THIS IS NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read an article about Somalia and how they haven't had an established government since 1991 and one of their leaders who was key to keeping them from completely falling apart and starting insurgency, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, left Somalia in fear of his life and fled to Kenya where he was flown to Neirobi. Somalia has been in conflict with Ethiopia over religious beliefs for quite some time and has had much problem within itself keeping a structured government. This only hurts matters worse, almost to the point of full out chaos.
This article was interesting in the way that it just goes to show how unstable these countries are. A group of 200 could take over a capital building and take control of an entire country. It is savage warfare and principles taking over civilized governmental structure, which can only lead to disaster. I hope everything works out for Somalia, without much help from the U.S. cause we always seem to make things worse. Kosovo anyone?
