For 20+ years Somalia has been ravaged with war, famine and diseases. No central government, no constitution, no rule of law... The survival of the fittest became the norm and then the nation and its people were more identified with piracy than anything...(the media story in the West)...

Why such a beautiful country and people have to endure so much is beyond comprehension... The world neglected Somalia for so long... Well, finally they get an elected government and we hope and pray that our beautiful brothers and sisters in Somalia have finally seen light at the end of the tunnel..

Thanks
