"Six reported killed in Somali food line" September 09, 2011|Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Six Somalis were shot dead by a soldier as families scrambled for food aid in the capital yesterday, witnesses said.
Families had stood in line for hours before finally rushing guards and carrying off food aid, said witness Sharif Haji Hassan. He said the guards tried to beat them back with rifle butts but then opened fire.
Some shot into the air, but one soldier fired into the crowd, Hassan said.
“Then some soldiers used butts to beat people and others were opening fire at refugees and in the air. I saw five dead bodies,’’ he said. “There was a food distribution, and some refugees ran off with packages and small sacks of food.
“There was too much blood on the sand, like a slaughterhouse.’’
Yeah. but the U.N. got in there and fixed the famine. That's the impression I have been left with these last few months.

Oh, Guinea has natural resources and stuff. Strange how pirates and terrorists are just popping up all over the place where there is oil and vital shipping lanes.

All the while the murderous pirates of Israel are absolved.
