Mogadishu Wet feeding centers Throughout the course of 2007, the humanitarian situation in central and southern Somalia continued to deteriorate, as the Western-backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG), supported by Ethiopian military forces, attempted to crush opposition to its rule by force-of-arms.

Mogadishu is the historical capital of Somalia, and is easily the largest population cluster in the country. It has also been the heart of ongoing instability in the country that has left it in an anarchic state for the past 24 years. Throughout 2007, the TFG/Ethiopians attempted to crush opposition to their rule in Mogadishu. The result was 1.2 million displaced; with 500,000 in critical need of lifesaving assistance.

KAAH operated  many  food kitchens in partnership with WFP and DRC
