Africa Travel: Somalia
Let's let out a sigh before we touch quickly on Somalia. There is no tourism site developed for
this East African country bordering the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean because of the constant violence and famine.
Polo's Bastards, notorious for going places they shouldn't be even lists Somalia as one of the world's most dangerous countries to visit
and suggest journalists and backpack toting vagabonds hire an armed guard if wishing to come out the country in one
piece. Pretty crazy considering these guys are the type to go just about anywhere. Lonely Planet tends to play it fairly
safe, but for them to offer not even an inch of anything to possibly think Somalia might be a safe bet means the
situation has got to be bad over there. Stay up on events going on in the country by visiting Somalia News.

Just came across this blog. Thought you might be interested to know that one of our writers has indeed just returned from Mogadishu in Somalia.
We'll be publishing his article within the next couple of days.
Many thanks,
Lee.
