Mohammed Qazilbash of the relief agency, CARE, that worked in Dadaab (Kenya), said: "Sympathisers with both the Islamists and the government are returning to Somalia to join militias because they aren't engaged in positive activities here."

Aden Mohammed, 18, ... planned to take up arms for "whoever will bring peace" to Somalia...

While the exact number to have returned to fight in Somalia was unknown, young idle youths made up about a third of the population here and aid workers estimated that more than 500 had left in recent months with more poised to go.

And here's a curious story about the work of aid agencies in Somalia.

Somali's powerful Islamic Courts controlling most of southern Somalia have issued a warning telling all relief agencies operating in the capital Mogadishu to empty all the food they stocked in the warehouses and give it away to people in need during the holy Ramadan month.

This struck me as odd. Are the courts ungrateful? Shouldn't they be happy that the aid agencies are there at all?

Another explanation for this tension, as I have written before, is that the aid agencies might be incompetent, or even malicious--trying to disrupt local agriculture by distributing food at harvest time. The author ends the article by suggesting that this view is not uncommon.

Some people believe that it is common that relief agencies delay their aid distribution and begin at harvest time.
