al-Shabaab barring aid to Somalia
The rain failed for a second year, cattle died, families marched for weeks to escape famine and still al-Shabaab either actively restricts aid or imposes highly restrictive rules to aid operations. Amnesty International reports that al-Shabaab demanded the destitute should “depend on God” instead of taking aid from the “infidels.” Almost 2.2 million Somali’s are in territory controlled by the known terrorist organization.
