The World Should Not Give Up on Somalia

Sharif Ahmed, President of Somalia | March 8, 2010

Somalia is typically associated with war, displacement, terrorism, and piracy, but the country is not the failed state it’s portrayed as. ++ "Somalis are resilient and committed to peace, and sickened by the nihilistic violence of the extremists" ++ The international community needs to get rid of the notions that Somalia’s problems are insurmountable and that Somalia is irrelevant to the rest of the world. ++ Somalia needs resources and troop support from other countries in order to combat the extremism and piracy that plague the country.
