Norway Concerned about Lack of Progress in Somalia

From The Official Blog of Amb. David H. Shinn Thu Apr 17 2014, 12:43:00

South Africa's Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published on 17 April 2014 a commentary titled "Somalia: Why Orthodox Aid Policy Must Give Way to Battlefield Reality" by Peter Fabricius, foreign editor of South Africa's Independent Newspapers. The commentary draws on remarks by Norway's special envoy to Somalia, Jens Mjaugedal, who expressed deep concern about the inability of the Somali government to deliver services to the Somali people.

You can also hear Mjaugedal in a seven minute podcast prepared by ISS.
