Great news from the war-torn nation of Somalia.
The Somali branch of al-Qaida, al-Shabab, has been forced out of the struggling country's capital city and has retreated to neighboring southern villages. This represents the best chance for Somalia's government to gain vital ground in the fight for control.
Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali said it best: "We have been dreaming of this day for the last three years,” and I believe most Americans, and Western observers would agree. There is literally nothing that would please the world more than to see Somalia out of the gutter.
Somalia's government; African Union soldiers; Western aid and other factors are responsible for the great news today, but perhaps none more than former Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed - and his months of incorruptible leadership.
What say you?
