That's an interesting article. I was suprised when the guy said that their infant mortality rate had worsened because I remembered this article mentioned how their infant mortality rate had improved since 1991. Looking back at it, however, the Independent article only said the Somali standing had fallen, not that the rate had risen, which would probably just mean the rate of the areas surrounding fell at a faster pace.
Hooray for statistics!
