We have prepared 100 hectares to cultivate sesame and sunflower in order to restore our country’s reputation in the international markets.

Somalia has moved beyond conflict, poverty, and hunger. We are moving toward progress, peace, and a self-sufficient nation.

My two cents:
I have been covering Somali politics and security for 35 years now. Whenever Somalia has political crises and difficulties, most of its elites tend to blame foreigners for the majority of the shortcomings - from Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Egypt, to Ethiopia and Meles Zenawi, Italy and Bettino Craxi, Mohamed Sahnoun, Mahiga, Turkey, and the UAE.

I’m not saying all foreigners are blameless, but Somalis should also look at themselves in the mirror. Somalis are front and center in their own challenges, and only they can overcome them.

Some helpful actors were maligned and eventually forced to completely abandon Somalia. We are seeing it happen all over again, time and again, over the years. We know who they are. If you don’t know, read the history.

You can’t stop foreigners from pursuing their own national interests - that is not in your hands. But you can solve your own problems, because that is in your hands!

An elderly man, a camel herder, went with his sons to check on them, and there was a female camel he had always been fond of and pampered since she was young. This time, he had been delayed in visiting her and she hadn’t seen him for a while, so when she heard his voice from inside the car, she recognized him, and began to long for him and plead with him. He couldn’t bear it, so he got out of the car and started stroking her head and pampering her.

Glory be to God, even animals have feelings, and they appreciate those who treat them kindly and with gentleness and affection!
