There is an argument that what is going on in Somalia right now deserves attention just as much as Kenya and Darfur, especially since the US seems to be partially implicated in the situation in our zeal to "fight Al-Qaeda" in the region. The Ethiopian army, with support from the UN and US, has been interfering in the very unstable political situation. If you have any questions about whether anything ever gets better when the Ethiopian army gets involved consider Eritrea (though they seem to be on the wrong side of this, for the same reason the US is: unreasoning terror that an Islamic religious party is going to act against relevant interests). Speaking of Eritrea, I Didn't Do It For You has been consistently well-reviewed. I have only read bits and pieces, but I saw nothing to make me disagree with the rave reviews.

Don't trust what I say though, I am only barely comprehending the complexities here.
