Somalian crisis, worst in the world

Somalia stands beleaguered and battered, thanks to the continuing conflict, it is now the worst affected in inter-clan fighting, sectarian violence and outside invasion. A human rights group counts the country as the worst affected, with enormous human rights abuses, starvation, death and displacement of people. Counting the country as the worst in terms of the gravity of the situation, where millions are being starved and killed to feed the warlords, a U.S. Human rights panel calls for peace restoration in the besieged Horn of Africa country. Somalia has been continuously at war ever since Said Barre tried capturing neighboring Ethiopia. The outside conflict slowly took a gargantuan turn and the country found itself stretched in internal conflict, where one warring faction was supported from outside, while the other fought without outside aide. But, the result of such a discrepancy had and has been felt by the locals, who without any role to play in the conflict, had to suffer and moan their birth in the country. Nearly 3 lakh died in the inter-clan fighting that engulfed the nation pushing the common man to poverty, penury and starvation. The number of dislocated people stands at a startling 1.5 million, who were forced to scatter to seek refuge in neighboring areas. The catastrophic humanitarian crisis sees Somalians as poor, deprived, starving, distraught, diseased and hungry people, where mothers cannot feed their babies and hundreds of thousands of children suffer from malnutrition. What can be more distressful than this? In this state of poverty, Somalians are forced to fight a war that would in no way lend a helping hand in their misery. And as Somalia looks for aid and relief, matters get worse when the warring factions show disregard for the suffering humanity, cutting off any aid supplies that could reach the battered and tormented people of Somalia.
