| September 3, 2008 | Somalia: A country in peril, a policy nightmare
Wednesday, September 3, 10:00 to 11:30AM
The Wilson Center's Africa Program and The Enough Project are pleased to invite you to a discussion of the current crisis in Somalia with Ken Menkhaus, author of Enough's latest report on Somalia, and Chris Albin-Lackey, Senior Researcher with Human Rights Watch. Dr. Menkhaus' report for Enough analyzes the international community's current policies toward Somalia and how complex international, regional and local dynamics have contributed to and sustained Somalia's 18-year political, human rights, and humanitarian crisis. Both Menkhaus and Albin-Lackey have recently returned from the region, and will discuss the current political, social and security changes that are occurring in Somalia.
Please RSVP by e-mail to Africa Program Assistant Justine Lindemann at Africa[at]wilsoncenter.org
