This is why it makes the NYT:
"Somalia: Islamists Take Town" by JEFFREY GETTLEMAN
Bule Burte, a strategic town in central Somalia, has fallen out of government hands, residents said, and a militia allied to the Islamist movement is in control. The militia forced out government troops after a clan-related dispute. Somalia’s Islamist movement was defeated a year ago by Ethiopian troops but has been making a resurgence recently. Somalia’s 72-year-old president, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, left a hospital in Kenya on Sunday for treatment in London."
Did you see my new memory hole, readers?!
In fact, why don't you cruise all of my Somalia labels!
