Nedan är ett brev som skickades i slutet av november av Somalias islamister,
Al-shabab, till de internationella biståndsorganisationerna i regionerna Bay och Bakool i Södra och centrala Somalia. Brevet visar tidligt på den trånga synen som islamisterna har om det internationella humanitära stödet till de behövande i Somalia. Jag bara undrar vad är egentligen ett islamiskt
code of conduct som de internationella organisationerna skall följa, när islamisterna själv bryter mot dessa koder?
