edit Somalia Travel Guide

Somalia is located on the Horn of Africa, and is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti to the north-west and Kenya on its south-west. This is a country with a troubled past... and the present and future does not look bright either. Civil war, military coups, border disputes and warlordism are the general course of events here. The removal of the Islamic Courts from power has created a power vacuum and the situation in Somalia is highly unstable at the moment.
