I read your article on Foreign Policy with keen eyes and interest. While whining from public officials does not deserve response from any sensible citizen of the Republic of Somalia, I felt compelled to counter false narrative with more objective analysis.
Andrew Connelly - London - British government looking to ban the stimulant, but many migrants say khat is part of their culture.
Mohamud M Uluso - The no confidence vote of the Federal Parliament of Somalia for incompetence in the Council of Ministers (Cabinet) of Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon “Saa’id” on December 3, 2013 has ended seven-month-long leaks and speculations about imminent dismissal or reshuffle and expansion of the cluttered Cabinet of ten Ministries.
Mogadishu (KON) - On Monday, Somali lawmakers voted Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon out of office following weeks of disagreement with the president over a planned cabinet reshuffle. However, the change of prime minister won't necessarily end Somalia’s political wrangles.
By Mohamed Africa - Once again, Somalia is in deep leadership rift, persistent practice and popular political culture in Mogadishu, 7th of its kind since 2000. Political harmony in post transition government has come to end behind the growing president-prime minister loggerheads.
Port Elizabeth (KON) - The attacks on Somali-owned shops spread like a wildfire through the townships around Port Elizabeth, a city on South Africa's southeastern coast.
Kismayu (KON) - In 2007 the African Union fully joined the efforts to resolve Somalia crisis by launching AMISOM peacekeeping mission in Somalia. This was one of the numerous international initiatives to resolve Somalia conflict, which began in 1991, after the downfall of President Mohamed Siad Barre.
By Hassan Sheikh Mohamud - Information, education, development, and international support are essential in defeating an extremist enemy in retreat.
Hamza Mohamed, Aljazeera - In a small dark room in Mogadishu's Banaadir Hospital, a group of patients sits quietly on wooden chairs waiting to collect their monthly medication ration.
Abdulkadir Osman “Aroma” - In 1960s, soon after independence, Somalia was dubbed “The graveyard of foreign aid” because the country lacked enough resources to fully meet the needs of the public administration. Owing to its meager resources the country depended mainly on foreign aid.
Nairobi (KON) - Midway through the morning, a detachment of Kenyan special forces troops sprinted up the dozen shallow steps to the front of Nairobi’s upmarket Westgate shopping mall, by then firmly under the control of a gang of Islamist gunmen.
Nairobi (KON) - Masked gunmen stormed into a fancy, crowded mall in Nairobi on Saturday and shot dead at least 39 people and wounded more than 150 in one of the most chilling terrorist attacks in East Africa since Al Qaeda blew up two American embassies in 1998.
