"Ladies and gentlemen, Somalia has become an arena of conflict, not to say a hell. Human rights and international law are flagrantly flouted; the country languishes in poverty. Thousands of civilians have perished in clashes between the Islamists and government units and hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee. People are killed, raped and tortured every day. United Nations statistics for 2007 show that there are approximately 457 000 Somali refugees in the world. That means half a million Somalis who have been forced to flee their homeland for the sake of survival. During the past three months, the violence in Mogadishu has forced more than fifty thousand people to flee. The situation is completely out of control. I sympathise with the people fleeing the violence. We must do everything that is in Europe’s power to help Somalia to take a course toward peace. The conflict must not be allowed to develop into a regional war. Africa needs peace as it needs air."@en1
