US Ends Aid to Somalia After Locals Torch and Loot Warehouse Filled with 76 Tons of US-Donated Food

Such a grateful country!
They really appreciate all of the US taxpayer donated food sent their way.
The United States ended taxpayer-funded food aid to Somalia after local officials torched and looted the stockpiles of food stored in a local warehouse.
There is even video of the mass looting!

This doesn't make sense.
"US Ends Aid to Somalia After Locals Torch and Loot Warehouse Filled with 76 Tons of US-Donated Food."
"... after local officials torched and looted the stockpiles of food stored in a local warehouse."
If they LOOTED the stockpiles of food stored in the warehouse before burning it down... then the warehouse wasn't "filled" with food. Food had been removed first, hence the looting. Once the food aid arrived in Somalia, technically it's their food. If they want to loot their own food, it's not our problem. We just won't replace it. Also, Somalis burned down their own warehouse. The U.S. may have built it, but ultimately it was a Somali warehouse. They burned down their own building. Fine. We won't rebuild it. Enjoy the ashes.
Also, nobody removes 150,000 lbs of food from a warehouse without at least 5 or 6 big trucks, each loaded with 25,000 to 30,000 lbs of food and a lot of labor involved. It would be a whole day operation that would be obvious to anyone in the area.
