When will Somalia’s faction leaders account for their crimes?


Ali Said Hassan’s documentary, Inside the Somali Civil War, depicts graphic scenes of some of Somalia’s unfortunate military confrontations in 1991. The documentary published on Keyd Media’s YouTube channel on November 1, 2012 shows atrocities committed by militia leaders and the ignorance of their fighters, some of who were duped to believe that they were fighting a holy war.
What’s more disturbing, however, is that the architects of these bloody conflicts, many still alive, never had to account for their war crimes, crimes against humanity and for their role in instigating and sustaining the war.

Embedded below is a copy of Hassan’s film:
