LONDON (AlertNet) - Two decades after Somalia's military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted, AlertNet brings you special coverage of the country which has struggled without a strong central government ever since.

 We speak to Somalis in Mogadishu about what life was like in 1991 and what it has become. There's also a humanitarian snapshot, a timeline, a slideshow and a collection of things you might not know about the Horn of Africa country.
