Anna Husarska, IRC senior policy adviser, wrote an opinion piece in The International Herald Tribune last Wednesday about Somalia, which has become the deadliest conflict in Africa for journalists. Husarska compared the violence against journalists in Somalia to the situation in Iraq. “Being a reporter in either country means taking a calculated extra risk, because journalists are not simply victims of random violence, they are purposely targeted,” Husarska wrote.

    truthfully, if the Islamic courts were not temporarily defeated by the craven Ethiopians and their American advisers, there would be peace in Somalia. I am not a Muslim, but from what I have seen, the islamic courts council brought stability to Somalia after years of anarchy, similair to how the Taliban brought peace to Afghanistan. if the Islamic Courts were in authority, no journalists would have been killed.
