Somalia facing ‘hidden genocide’
BBC - Monday, 22 December 2008
The UN envoy to Somalia, Ahmedou Ould Abdallah, has said there is a “hidden genocide” taking place in the country.
Mr Abdallah spoke as the African Union’s peace and security council held urgent talks on how to boost the peacekeeping force there.
Ethiopia says its 3,000 troops will withdraw by the end of the year, which some fear will lead to a power vacuum.
