The third London Conference on Somalia gets underway today in the UK capital, with the main focus being making Somalia a much better place, in terms of security, than it has been for decades following the ouster of President Siad Barre in 1991.
Co-hosted by the United Nations, British Premier Theresa May and Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, the conference attempts to draw world attention on Somalia where support is needed to put the war-torn African country on the path to full recovery by year 2020.
