What are donors worried about?;The donors’ conference on Somalia is fraught with concerns that do not directly deal with the problem at hand - bolstering security in the Horn of Africa country. Donors are worried about the rampant piracy off Somalias shores. Potential donors are also financially strapped from fighting the global economic crisis. Still, the United Nations, which is co-sponsoring the conference with the European Union, hopes to raise about $166 million to beef up Somalian security and to help understaffed African Union peacekeepers in the conflict-torn country. The United Nations also wants representatives from some 30 nations expected at the conference to come up with a 100-day plan to rebuild stability in Somalia. Among those expected at the conference are Somali President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, along with the heads of the African Commission and Arab League and representatives of nearly three dozens nations.
