There's not any kind of administration, and very little respect for any humanitarian (organizations), which makes it a very difficult place to work.

All of the humanitarian agencies operating in Somalia have armed guards. We're very uncomfortable with it, but there's very little option to pull out of (the security arrangements).

We are very committed to providing medical care to this community, but we're not there to be martyrs.

Any agreements are made on very fragile ground.

It is very difficult. You can walk to the next tee and not think about things, but if you do make a mistake and you make a bogey or something, well, it tends to affect you more.

We did not find it difficult to deal with Bush and his administration, because it is similar to regimes in our countries - both types include many who are full of arrogance and greed.
