Ze Frank on Somali Politics

“For the past two-thousand five hundred years or so, the Somali people and some others have lived in an area known as the Horn of Africa. Somalis speak Somali. By and large, over a thousand years ago converted to Islam. To the west, Ethiopia became a Christian stronghold, and because back then, people fought over silly things like differences in religion, they fought a lot.“

I wanted to add this piece originally on a different blog (The Campaign to Free Somalia). It is a very good comical analysis of the political situation in Somalia.
