Somali gunman kidnap Doctors without Borders workers

Matthew Boguslawski

It seems that whenever you turn on the tv, Somalian pirates are trying to hijack ships. However, the Somailians have once again entered the world spotlight, but this time for the kidnapping of Doctors without Borders workers. The organization is a very well known aid group that is in over 60 countries throughout the world. The area in which the workers were kidnapped is located in an area that is controlled by a terrorist group called al-Shabaab, according to the US State Department. This is not the first time that kidnappings and other forms of violence have been conducted against international aid in recent times. The future of these hostages are not clear, and so is the future of Somalia
