#5  Quote: A Somali-American's Improbable Return
After returning to Somalia in 2008 to aid victims of a drought, the locals asked Mohamed Aden to become their leader. In less than a year, he has transformed Adado, Somalia, into an enclave of peace."

Are you KIDDING ME? Crucifying hundreds of Christians is peace - burning their churches is Peace? Murdering thousands of non Muslims is Peace?

#4  Someone can only rebuild a part of Africa if they follow African rules. For example, US Special Forces trained Samuel Doe tried to do everything the modern American way, and failed terribly despite having every potential in the world.

While fully supported by Ronald Reagan, he also focused much too much on military instead of civilian evolution of Liberia. He tried to advance his people faster than they could develop, instead of incrementally.

By the time the coup overthrew him, he was exhausted and still on square one. He waited in his palace for death instead of trying to flee.

#3  a guy who dresses (and talks) like a rapper and recently moved from Minnesota to Somalia in an effort to build a local government.

I certainly hope there are hundreds of thousands just like him who leave very soon to rebuild Africa in their image.
