Doctors Without Borders Ends Aid Work in Somalia 
-------------------------------------------------


 
The group Doctors Without Borders has announced dangerous conditions are
forcing it to cease operations in Somalia after 22 years. In a
statement, the group cited "extreme attacks on our staff," and an
environment that condones "the killing, assaulting and abducting of
humanitarian aid workers." The move will mean the loss of health care
services for hundreds of thousands of people.
