Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow and Andrew Simmons travelled to different parts of Somalia to witness first-hand what is going on in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation. Moving through the chaotic capital of Mogadishu, one comes across a grisly scene: several artillery shells had just hit the capital's Bakaara market. Dismembered bodies, blood and severed limbs lie everywhere. And as is often the case, all the victims are civilians. Such scenes are not uncommon in this theatre of war, but they are rarely captured on camera. Those lucky to escape the attack run for dear life. But in this city, there is nowhere to hide. This is not a conventional war and no one is spared the violence. Here good Samaritans struggle to save the injured. They bundle them on to vehicles and hand-carts. They will join many others lying in the city's few and congested hospitals. "I was injured by a remote-controlled landmine targeting Ethiopian troops," says Hussein Issack, a recent victim of the violence. "A friend I was with died on the spot. I am really saddened by these attacks. Those targeted usually escape and it's [us civilians] who get hurt." Civilians 'targeted' Many Islamic Courts' Union fighters are still licking their wounds from the fighting with Ethiopian forces, but they remain bold enough to venture out into the streets. They have also become increasingly confident in recent months. Along with Ethiopian forces, they are also accused of targeting civilians, a charge they strongly deny. "We are the people and the people are us. We are not any different," one Islamic Courts' fighter told Al Jazeera. "We are victims of our enemies who attacked our land after Somalis enjoyed six months of peace and tranquility under the Islamic Courts. "They are the enemies of Allah, Muslims and the Somali people." 'Nowhere to run' Later, while travelling in to Mogadishu, less than 10km from the city, we can hear the sound of bombardments and shelling. It is also the road to the city where the displaced have set up camps. On either side, hundreds of thousands of people live in terrible conditions. They want to return home but cannot while the violence continues. Tens of thousands others also remain trapped in the city. Marooned by the fighting, they have no escape route. Physically disabled Hussein Osman Gessey is one of them. His wife died a few weeks ago, leaving him to care for his seven children, including a three-month-old baby. "I have nowhere to run to. I have nothing to transport them and no place to take my children," he said. "Should I worry about what they eat or where they will get safety? Most of my neighbours have fled. I now rely on what I am brought by kind friends who are aware of my problems." Hussein's misfortunes are shared by many Somalis today. Every tale you hear is more heart-rending than the other. Hospital overwhelmed Mogadishu's desperate situation is echoed in other parts of the country. In Galguduud, a town several hundred kilometres north of the capital, aid workers from Medicins Sans Frontieres Belgium struggle to treat those in need. The organisation's staff have strict procedures: they have security guards wherever they go, whether in the drive to work from the compound in which they live or to the hospital where they work. They are not allowed to venture anywhere else. The morning meetings have a common theme - where to put more admissions and what to do with those waiting to be assessed. The hospital's outpatients department is always absolutely inundated. The health needs in this conflict are unlike so many others, because there is no basic infrastructure and the children are the most in need. In one ward alone there have been 30 admissions in the past few days and Dr Carolina Batista Santos, the doctor in charge, rarely gets a break. Small successes In this hospital, we attract people from faraway places, sometimes hundreds of kilometres away. We see a lot of diseases that are preventable from immunisation that is not going on. Not only that, but many children arrive here too late because their parents often do not realise the importance of taking them to hospital. And in a country with no health service, traditional healing is followed by many parents. One three-year-old boy has a potentially fatal disease called kala azar. On his skin are welts from where a traditional healer burned him in a futile attempt at a cure. Left too late, all of his internal organs will fail. Nevertheless, with the hospital's care they are hopeful he will survive. It is not war that keeps the hospital full in Galguduud. There are domestic accidents, burns from spilled cooking oil, poor nutrition, neglected illnesses and ailments that come from poor sanitation and no running fresh water. Dr Santos is doing her best and she makes the most of her successes. But she knows that any gains are set against so many lives lost in a country with overwhelming needs.

French journalist held in Somalia said to be "fine" BOSASSO, Somalia, Dec 18 (Reuters) - A Somali clan elder said on Tuesday he had seen a French journalist kidnapped by gunmen since the weekend and he was in a "fine" condition. But the local elder, who is related to the kidnappers, also told Reuters the group was demanding an $80,000 ransom for the release of Gwen Le Gouil in northern Puntland region. "We saw the French journalist. He is fine. We tried to convince the abductors to release the journalist, but they refused and demanded $80,000," Abdulqadir Ahmed said. "We are going to negotiate with them again today." Le Gouil, who was seized on Sunday, is being held in the mountainous village of Mareero, 30 km (19 miles) east of Puntland's Bosasso port, locals say. Somali kidnappers are known to treat their captives well and almost never kill them, viewing them as an investment on which they expect a return in the form of ransom. Many foreigners in Somalia run foul of local clans by failing to seek permission to travel through their territories. A colleague of Le Gouil in a TV company, Cargocult Production, said he had no fresh information on Tuesday. "But I am hopeful we might get some good news of his release today. Negotiations are continuing," said Jean Laurent, who is tracking his colleague's case from Nairobi. French diplomats in the region had no comment. Le Gouil was in the semi-autonomous region of north Somalia working on a piece for the Franco-German TV network Arte Television about human trafficking of African migrants to Saudi Arabia through Yemen. Media groups have denounced the kidnapping in a nation where eight local journalists have died this year covering a conflict between the Ethiopian-backed government and Islamist-led rebels. Known for its relative stability compared to chaotic south Somalia, Puntland has, however, become increasingly associated with kidnappings, hijackings and piracy. In May, two foreign aid workers were seized and later released after negotiations between their captors and clan elders, while in October gunmen hijacked a cargo plane carrying khat, a lucrative narcotic leaf.

Both the geographic center of the contiguous U.S. and the population center of the U.S. are in the Midwest. The United States Census Bureau divides this region into the East North Central States (essentially the Great Lakes States); and the West North Central States (essentially the Great Plains States), although Minnesota, which is listed among the West North Central states, is not listed as a Great Plains state.

NO COMMENTS ! !

This year I have decided to pre-empt this predictable Best soler annual ritual. This year’s best Solers should be judged by the most comments on their posts and not how many posts they have. Since when did we have a QUALITY CONTROL program in SOL ??? Don't be afraid sxb ,,,, the best SOLer will be based on how many posts is made. The place is not created for reading only, if there is no posting then what would you read and enjoy ?? Let us do the writing and posting and win the reward and you will enjoy reading all of them as you wish PS. waar niyow waad iga fiican tahay ,, ,there is no way i can read and leave the place, i must say something about most of the posts. loooool

and where do you live exactly ? ..... some of those staring at you for 20 minutes can be SOL members for sure
