The people of Somalia are facing many problems with an Islamist terrorist group called al-Shabab. Just recently Islamist militants have taken control of the port of Merka. This is very significant because Merka is an important place where delivery for food aid arrives in Somalia. According to the UN, more than 3 million nationals of Somalia ( almost half the population) are in need of food and medical aid. This is why Merka is a very important port. Just a while ago, more than 850,000 people were fed from food arriving from Merka. Al-Shabab has also taken over port of Kismayo in August. Al-Shabab has recently rejected a peace agreement with the Somalian government. Many parts of the country have been lost to Islamist groups like these.I think this is a good article, I think it is timeliness which means it is current news that will be interesting to readers. This is an interesting article which is why I picked it. I think people will like to read this to see whats going on in the world right now. It isn't some boring article about nothing, this is actually a big thing that could affect many people. This is why I think this is worth reading.
