1. What is the issue?
The issue is that Mogadishu; capital of Somalia is suffering from weeks of fighting and wars.
A terrorist group called the Islamic Court Group has been uncontrollable which has leaded into continuous wars.
A percentile of Somalia’s population is leaving the country with nowhere else to go. 

2. Who is involved?
∑ Somalian Government
∑ Islamic Court Group
∑ Somalian citizens

3. Who is affected and how?
∑ Somalian citizens
∑ Neighboring nations of Somalia
∑ Somalian government

The Somalian citizens are affected because they must leave the country for safety, however they have nowhere else to live.

The Neighboring nations of Somalia are affected because the nations surrounding Somalia are poorer and they can’t accept illegal immigrants.

The Somalian Government is affected because if all citizens leave, the nation will collapse and will be taken away by the Islamic Court Group.

4. What would you do if you were directly involved?
If I was the UN secretary general, I would demand a trade with the Islamic Court Group, give them land to live,
give them jobs so they will not terrorize citizens of the world.
