Some 1.4 million children in Somalia are projected to be acutely malnourished this year, an increase of 50% over last year, the UN Children's Fund announced today.
Somalia is hamstrung by collusion and an entrenched corruption structure, resulting in increasing numbers of refugees and intense famine. In order to avoid further death and disease, the implementation of free elections for all candidates should be carried out immediately. This plus comprehensive constitutional reform will do much to restore national pride in Somalia. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
