Just beause Kismayo's not a volitile city doesn't mean it shouldn't get press coverage. Theres plenty of misplaced refugees, minorities etc. misplaced from Xamar that are in some refugee camps but they cannot get help because of the lack of coverage.

Let me get this straight, those leaders are complaining because they don't get enough coverage?
