Somalia's Polio Outbreak Tied to Conflict
Somalia is restructuring its polio programme to end an outbreak that threatens to spread beyond the country's borders, per the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO notes that Al-Shabaab's control over large parts of southern Somalia has hindered vaccination efforts, making it harder to contain the disease.
Meanwhile, Turkey's political involvement in Somalia risks reigniting Al-Shabaab activity, according to MEforum, as Ankara seeks to assert influence through regional partnerships.
The U.S. military is under scrutiny for allegedly trapping civilians in flood-hit areas, per Somali Today, highlighting humanitarian challenges amid ongoing instability.
