Special coverage: Two decades, one Somalia

By Thomson Reuters

somali

LONDON - AlertNet, the free award-winning humanitarian news service run by Thomson Reuters Foundation covering crises worldwide, brings you special coverage on Somalia, two decades after military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted. Ever since the country has struggled without a strong central government and faced hunger, flooding, fighting, suicide attacks and piracy.

Alernet team spoke 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.
