"Al Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة‎, romanized: al-jazīrah, IPA: [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Island", though referring to the Arabian Peninsula in context)[3] is a free-to-air international Arabic news channel based in Doha, Qatar that is operated by the media conglomerate Al Jazeera Media Network. The channel is a flagship of the media conglomerate and hence, is the only single offering to carry the name as simply "Al Jazeera" in its branding.

The channel's willingness to broadcast no holds barred views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. One of the station's office was the only channel to cover the War in Afghanistan live."

"Famine has spread to a sixth area of Somalia and tens of thousands of people have died as a result of severe food shortages, the United Nations has said."

If you look at what nation building is and what it's supposed to be, go into a country thats never really been a country, with a government thats capable of governing the country in a responsible way. Somalia being the perfect example of that.

Nation building at its best, looks something like the Balkan region, where NATO, the European Union and the United States to a certain extent, took out ruthless dictators and terrorists who were murdering people because of their ethnicity: Albanians, Bosniaks, Serbians, Croats etc, and then sent in supplies and resources and gave them to the responsible people of these new countries, to build their new countries. 

In the African Horn thats prone to terrorism and is very diverse ethnically with different peoples that don't like each other. The good news is that they don't have an authoritarian regime like the Assad Regime in Syria. The bad news is that they don't really have a government of their own at all that can defend and govern this large country. And they are going to need an international coalition that can help them get there. 

And this is where the African Union and Arab League, can help Somalia, is right in their region can help. And the European Union, NATO and the United Nations as well as the United States with resources can be a big help as well.
