Believe it or not, Somalia was once viewed as a model African country. It was relatively a homogeneous nation comprised mainly of ethnic Somalis, with a large minority Bantu and Arab peoples.
Just thought that it would be of interest to you to see how life in Somalia was before the war.
What do you think after seeing a glimpse of peaceful Somalia?

Cool clip. Btw, what is the history of the hijab in Somalia? I'd just like to get that cleared up.

Lol. Well, what Somalia and some other African nations failed at is what some Asian countries are doing quite well. Development. HDI for SSA was higher than South Asia for quite a while, IIRC?
