Rebuilding Somalia | People & Power
Al Jazeera English
I was having a hard time coming up with a title for this post, so I took the title straight from YouTube. It makes about as much sense as my own confused thoughts on this matter. On one hand I'm thinking about the nitwits who would call this guy a heartless capitalist, exploiting the poor, beleaguered Somalians for his own profit. On the other I'm thinking this guy has some guts, or some very risk tolerant investors backing him. Or maybe this is the future. Governments seem to do a really poor job of taking care of their people. Maybe private corporations can do better, at least where the situation is dismal. I don't know what's going to happen in the USA. We seem to have several divisions of society that are blithely heading off in their own direction, mostly ignoring what is happening to the rest to the country.
Update November 2021 replaced missing video with another video about Somalia from 2014. Google translates the post title as 'US Conferences in Mogadishu'.

It's just an accent.
The first two words of the title are
"Chicago American" and the last is "Mogadischu". Haven't guessed the others yet.
Me bruddah yoozta leaven Shirgado.
