    you should publish or make a documentary...this would totally win an award.

    i admire your courage to even travel there but its worth it if more people are informed about whats going on in the world.

    grate pod, i don't see how people could want to forge and destroy there country in any way, yes people could be inclined to find a way of joining a republican group if thy think that way of life is more acceptable.

    I'm glad the way of life has and should continue to be getting better for the people of Somalia, and thankfully conflict between a minority group and the government has ceased.

    lovely country, ludacris problems caused by inconsiderate people.
