No need for nasty letters to the editor here. The Somali warlords are a well-read bunch, and if they take issue with something you've written, they send a mooryaan to knock on your door and deliver their response. Four Somali journalists were executed by followers of Aideed for offending him in an article they wrote in a UN-sponsored paper. An Italian journalist was executed after being mistaken for an executive of an Italian banana exporter. Most journalists do not sign their name on local articles for fear of reprisals.
