...staffers and 24 aid workers have been killed this year. As a result, "the humanitarian space is effectively closed," says Ken Menkhaus, the U.S.'s leading expert on Somalia and a professor of political science at Davidson College in North Carolina. The 3,000 African Union peacekeepers don't stray far beyond their base in Mogadishu for fear of being slaughtered by insurgents--remember Black Hawk Down? (See pictures of Somalia's Pirates...
