Down but not out: Somalia's major achievements in 2022
2023-01-02
[Garowe] Whenever the name Somalia pops up in a conversation, folks always associate the country with abject poverty, violent mostly peaceful extremism, endless political wrangles, and in most cases, drought, which has bitten hard in the last three years and could worsen into famine.

The country is no stranger to the aforementioned challenges but resilience and hope have notably revised the history of the country, especially on matters of conflicts and the al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
menace, which has claimed thousands of innocent civilians.

#1  Logically, Eritrea should have joined AlQaeda in the decade after its founding. However, the Sudanese military's Islamist leaders did not trust Eritrea's President Isaias Afewerki. In 1992 a Sudanese was captured during an attempt to assassinate Afewerki. The prisoner was found to have begun specialized Sudan Security Service intelligence training in August 1991 at the Ideraba camp west of Omdurman,Sudan. The frosting on the cake and the twain was ne'er met when it was learned that Usama al-Turabi, son of Sudan's Islamist factotum Hassan al-Turabi was in his class. (See UN Security Council S/1997/517, 7 July 1997, p.13.)
