Somalia, the West and the Destruction of Hope.

The CCCB fosters a debate on one of the most significant and, simultaneously, most forgotten human crisis in our contemporary world. The debate will take place in parallel with the exhibition of Doctors Without Borders "Somalia, surviving oblivion". The aim of the discussion is to analyze the delicate political and social situation of Somalia, a country that has been in permanent crisis after the outbreak of the civil war more than 15 years ago.
