This Arab Media Watch report compiles and analyses how Somalia has been portrayed in the British media. Across the board, the only consistent feature or element of context is violence.
Among other findings, the report details how Somalia is placed firmly in the context of the ‘War on Terror,’ much to its cost, and how few commentators provide historical perspective.
