    Could be.

    About the other thing you said

    Weirdly very little coverage about that right now.

    It’s partly cynical geo-politics. And it’s partly racism. But IMO there’s another reason. The somalis don’t have good internet and ubiquitous smartphones. If they did, their story would be everywhere. News isn’t about journalists trekking into warzones anymore - it’s people posting their own footage and the internet picking up on it. Without the footage there is no news.

    You can debate if it’s the most important factor but it’s definitely a part of it.
