"No longer synonym for crisis"

    ABIDJAN

    Somalia is no longer a synonym for crisis and should be seen in a
    different light from the past five years, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Randolph Kent, said. He told a press briefing in New York there were now areas of stability, particularly in the northwest, northeast and central parts. A steady increase in stability did not however mean there were no longer humanitarian problems, although the UN's approach could now be seen as preventative. Kent stressed that if the
    international community responded now, the vulnerability of 600,000 needy people would be eased.
