A Somali refugee family stand in the rai

GAROWE, SOMALIA: A Somali refugee family stand in the rain in front of their hut during a visit by UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Norwegian Jan Egeland near Garowe, central Somalia, 04 December 2004. Egeland ended 05 December a three-day trip to raise awareness on Somalia's problems saying the country's persistent violence drought and stream of refugees have created one of the world's forgotten humanitarian crises. Somalia, plunged into a lawless void of militia warfare since a 1991 coup toppled dictator Mohammed Siad Barre, has long been a black hole for many international donors who consider it "hopeless case of continuous conflict with no end in sight", Egeland said.
