Somalia is fighting a battle on all fronts: drought, disease and conflict. The country is experiencing its driest season in 40 years forcing more than a million people to flee to camps, not far from where al Qaeda-linked terror group al Shabaab is fighting to maintain its territory.

Plus, Dr Nisar Majid, research associate in Somalia at London School of Economics, explains how we got here and if we can learn anything from the 2011 famine.
