Yamamoto arrived in Ethiopia in December of 2006, only a month after an electoral showdown between protestors and government forces left 193 dead and over 700 people wounded, while tens of thousands of people were rounded up and dispatched to military camps. The public’s memory and the collective trauma as a result of the electoral violence were fresh when he had first met Meles in April that year. The three years he had served in Ethiopia saw the trail, convictions and pardon of opposition leaders; the coming into laws of four very controversial legislations (on charities, media, political parties and anti-terrorism) which were viewed as instruments that narrowed political space in Ethiopia; and intensified insurgency and counter-insurgency in the Ogden between Ethiopian armed forces and the Ogden National Liberation Front (ONLF). It was also a time when Ethiopia sent troops to Mogadishu in its bid to defeat forces mobilized under the Union of Islamic Courts, an act many in the west believed was a proxy war waged on behalf of the United States, but the Prime Minister staunchly denied. Yamamoto has dealt with all of these issues with Meles through the years. His verdict on the Prime Minister, as read in the cable he wired in the same year he had departed, was that Meles is “certainly a strong ‘J’ ”, which stands for judgmental. “Throughout our scores of meetings with the Prime Minister, in which he consistently operates without notes, Meles delivers points on any range of issues than can be precisely diagrammed into an outline,” observed Yamamoto. “Meles is a linear thinker, starting from the beginning, then reaching the end before broaching a new issue.” The upshot of Yamamoto’s psychometric analysis is that Meles is a person with string preferences to “thinking” and “judging” or “TJ”, although there is a certain element about him that includes a “feeling and judging” side; the latter is a type of person who is “empathetic”. It appears that the former US Ambassador to Ethiopia believes Meles is a “TJ” type personality, which MBTI describes as individuals who “tend to appear to the world as logical who like to have matters settled”. Yamamoto advised in his cable to American diplomats and officials who may deal with Ethiopia’s Prime Minister to have their messages delivered privately, in a focused, clear and linear manner. “If our message is one that he is likely to oppose, our arguments will be much more effective if delivered in a way that emphasizes the objective,” advised Yamamoto. “Meles particularly understands and appreciates arguments that clearly reflect the explicit pursuit of national interests.” It all depends on what people would take to Meles, says his long time friend. If people go to see him with anecdotal and empirical subject matters, he would deliberate on that; he would do likewise with people who would be interested to talk on macro and philosophical level; and he would engage in any issue, according to this friend of Meles. “Where he strikes me most is that it is as if there is no issue that he seems alien to,” says his friend. “I am equally impressed when he sums up discussions and by the manner in which he frames conclusions.” Whether or not MBTI instruments are as conclusive as Yamamoto described, Meles is highly controversial in the psychological field of study. The MBTI isn’t used nearly as much as it used to be in the diplomatic world, says an American diplomat, who has done many such psychometric analyses of leaders and prominent personalities in many of the countries he has served in. The instrument, which divides peoples’ preferences in 16 distinguishable personality types with low and high scores, is far from being a scientific psychometric testing tool, critics of the works by Myers and Briggs argue. The National Research Council, an entity within the US National Academy of Science, discovered after conducting examinations of tests conducted using MBTI in 1991 that it is not “valid, reliable and effective” to have a conclusive view on individuals’ behavior. One such critic is David J. Pittenger (PhD), psychometric researcher and dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Marshall University. “I believe that MBTI attempts to force the complexities of human personality into an artificial and limiting classification scheme,” said Pittenger, in a short paper he presented.

The corporate world uses this instrument widely for recruitment purposes; of the 100 American companies in the FORTUNE 100, 89 companies make use of MBTI, “for recruitment and selection or to help employees understand themselves or their co-workers”, according to psychometric-success, a website dedicated on issues of personal development. Other organizations exercise the indicator, whose questioners ought to rather be filled by the person concerned, in order to determine personal attitude and preferences of prominent personalities. For instance, editors from USA Today once asked the author of “Types Talk: The 16 Personality Types That Determine How We Live, Love and Work”, to assess the preferences of George W. Bush. The author, Otto Kroeger, who also runs the Florida based Center for Applications of Psychological Type, described the former US President as “INFP”: Introvert, intuitive, feeler and perceptive. It is a type of personality that acts before it reflects and acts again. It is categorically opposite to what Yamamoto described Meles could be, with the exception of sharing the “introversion” trait. Yamamoto, who was known to be a diplomat very critical of Meles’s administration in private but accommodating in public, wrote in his cable that Meles could be a person with “strongly sensing”, “likely thinking” and “defiantly judging” preferences. Meles is a man of details, according to Yamamoto. “He knows them inside and out, and he deploys them and precisely to establish and defend his arguments,” he said. “Whenever we raise concerns, he responds with highly nuanced and highly specific details to counter our arguments.” A now retired western diplomat, with closer knowledge of leaders in the region, including Eritrea’s Issayas Afeworki, agrees with this assessment. “Talking to Issayas, for instance, you don’t blink your eyes and you have to be very assertive. He could be intimidating,” said this diplomat. “Meles is a person more argumentative, yet ensures that you remain friends after sharp differences and heated debates.” It is a tradition for foreign dignitaries, such as ministers of foreign affairs, to be provided very brief “briefings” and talking-notes by their missions in host countries or desk officers assigned to the country, which they often read aboard their flight. Yamamoto observed that their understanding of issues is limited to such briefings of perhaps two-page, and disarming to counter Meles’s detailed responses. The former US Ambassador to Ethiopia, who has also served in similar positions in Djibouti and Eritrea, describes Meles as a moderate to strong “thinker”, although party dynamics may require him to navigate employing his “feelings”. In that, Yamamoto understands Meles as an individual who gives higher place to “objectives” than “values”, judging him on two counts. Meles’s passion for the ideals of revolutionary democracy and developmental state - the latter evolved much later due to influences by academics such as Jeffery Sachs (PhD) and Joseph Stiglitz (PhD), both renowned development economists - is evidence for his judgment in favour of “feelings”. Meles’s skillful navigations, not to be vetoed by executive committee members of TPLF where Yamamoto sees there are “a lot of strong and dogmatic personalities”, and his expertise to “know his audience, carefully chose his language to deliver carefully-crafted and audience specific arguments” may weigh more on his preferences to “feelings” than “thinking”. Nonetheless, Yamamoto remains adamant in his cable to argue Meles to be a strong “thinker” on the side of “objectives and ends” judging him for his decision to break ties with Seeye Abraha, a man America’s career diplomat said was Meles’s “best, closest and oldest friend”. Yamamoto states: “When push comes to shove, he [Meles] is far more wedded to tasks than interpersonal relationships.” If there were any American senior diplomats who dealt with Meles’s administration and its senior officials during times of difficulties, Yamamoto could only be rivaled perhaps by David Shinn (PhD), an adjunct professor of International Affairs at the George Washington University. Shinn’s time in Ethiopia, during his second ambassadorial assignment after Burkina Faso, was mired by a cold shoulder from Ethiopian authorities due to his public criticisms when Ethiopia was at war with Eritrea in the two years beginning in 1998. He left Ethiopia hardly mending his fallout with them.

ANALYSIS The United States considers Ethiopia its strategic ally in this part of the world, where its interests are challenged by the existence of Al-Quida associated Al-Shabab in Somalia, and the rogue regime in Eritrea. In the eyes of American senior diplomats, the destabilization of Ethiopia “could affect the entire Horn of Africa region”. And the man who is on the wheel driving this country, Meles Zenawi, was a subject of a psychometric test meant to determine his psychological preferences, reports TAMRAT G. GIORGIS, Fortune One of the many thousands of cables filed from Addis Abeba’s US Embassy, and leaked by Wikileaks last week, includes a cable sent in March 2009 by Donald Yamamoto, former US ambassador to Ethiopia, and currently a senior diplomat in the State Department. He took a rare effort to examine Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s personality, employing an instrument used in diplomacy, military and the corporate world in order to understand individuals’ preferences: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Yamamoto, who arrived in Addis Abeba subsequent to one of the most trying periods of the country in recent memory, post-2005 electoral turmoil, categorized Meles as having personality traits of “ISTJ”. “After scores of meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Post [the Embassy] has strong confidence in our ability to infer Meles’s Myers-Briggs type,” writes Yamamoto, who was here in Addis a few weeks ago for a day’s visit, en-route to Uganda, in his cable titled “Biographic Note”. “We have a high degree of confidence that Meles is a moderate-to-strong ‘I’.” The literature on MBTI, which was first published in 1962 by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, describes a person with “I” for having an attitude of “introversion”, one who prefers to reflect before acting. According to the literature on the subject, individuals with such attributes need time alone, away from activity, and they are largely inward looking. As opposed to extraverts who are action oriented, introverts are more “thought oriented”. Such is the man Yamamoto saw in Meles back in 2009; a man who rather prefers to think and reflect than act in a knee-jerk approach. Meles is not “a man about town” but rather “quiet and deliberative”, according to Yamamoto. “He thrives on one-on-one or small group discussions (such as with renown economists, talking about imperial Japanese history, or the US founding fathers), while being far more reserved in larger groups,” says Yamamoto. He may have shy personality, agrees a long time friend of Meles who has known him since his years in the field. “Yet his is a conversation you couldn’t possibly get bored,” he said. “He is very attentive listener, engaging and with a give and take conversations.” Yamamoto’s analysis hardly limits itself there. It goes into examining what sort of preferences Meles may have in other indicators. Yamamoto’s cable shows that Ethiopia’s Prime Minister has personal preferences that are opposite to those who may likely be considered as strong “introvert” attitudes developed by the MBTI. Designed to understand how people perceive the world and make decisions, MBTI is an instrument evolved from the works of Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss born (1875) thinker known for his works on analytical psychology and dream analysis. His works in relations to personal preferences was first published in 1921; Briggs and her daughter further developed his theory and these indicators during the Second World War. This was a period where men in the United States and Europe were enlisted to the war, leaving behind empty industries and weapon factories. Women, with a slogan “It’s Possible”, had entered the industrial world. Briggs and Myers had hoped knowledge of personality preferences would help women entering the industrial workforce for the first time in identifying jobs in which they felt most comfortable and effective. It has become very popular as an instrument of insight to personalities, over two million assessments are conducted annually in the United States, according to Consulting Psychologists Press (CPP) Inc., publishers of the MBTI. “Much more than just a product, MBTI assessment is a powerfully versatile solution that has helped millions of people around the world better understand themselves and how they interact with others,” declares the company on its official website, www.cpp.com.

The slow return to normalcy began in early August when the holy month of Ramadan started and warring sides in the capital Mogadishu seized fire. Roads are under construction and schools have reopened with massive students enrolment compared with the time of civil war. Two decades of war have destroyed most of the city famous buildings and also schools and hospitals. Traders like Maymuna Sheikh Omar views the peace prevailing in Mogadishu as a step towards progress in the business segment. As the fighting in Mogadishu has mostly died down, many of former residents are cautiously returning to see what they can rebuild from the ruins of the war. Among those returning home is Ahmed Hassan whose two-room home made from corrugated iron sheets was demolished by a mortar. He says the peace in the capital has made him move back and repair it in the coming days. Many have not been home for years, living in makeshift camps for the displaced in the perimeters of the government manned districts of the capital Mogadishu. Behind me is a building that depicts the civil war that has engulfed Somalia, and buildings like this are rather common in most parts of the Somali capital, Mogadishu. But, now with the situation retuning to normalcy, people are hoping to build the capital from the ruins of years of civil war.

September 14, 2011 Universities have began education year in famine and drought stricken Somalia. Girls and boys sit in different places while they have education in the same class. Education begins in the mornings, however it ends in the afternoon due to hot weather. Universities are closed on Thursday and Friday for weekend holiday. Education lasts for four years in Somali universities which face teacher, education tools and devices problems. Mogadishu-based Horseed International University gives nursing, computer, economy and secretariat education. 200 students receive scholarship in the university that has a total of 460 students. Charity organizations donate the scholarships. Courses are given in English, and students use photocopied books. “We work on scientific studies and chat with our teachers in the university,” Mohammad Dagane Abdullu, the head of university student council, told AA correspondent. Abdullu said they had launched initiatives to set up football and basketball teams in the university. “We believe a new page will be opened as civil war ends in Somalia, and we hope we can spend some time on sports, culture, education and entertainment in our universities,” he said. An executive of the university, Abdulfettah Omar said university could not provide sufficient education due to civil war. Omar said they could more easily give education as civil war lost effect, and they continued education despite all negative developments. “We believe Somalia will have a better future, and we need more educated people here and we can achieve this,” Omar also said.

Monday, 12th September, 2011 By John Semakula THE business community in Uganda received the news of AMISOM’s recent victory against the al-Shabaab militants in Mogadishu with a smile of hope. The community had long wanted to venture into Somalia but the insecurity in the country had hindered it. When news emerged that the AU peacekeepers had secured 90% of Mogadishu from the militants, managers of various companies in Uganda started drawing business plans for Somalia. Uganda’s private security firms and the Uganda Export Promotions Board (UEPB) are among local enterprises eyeing the country. Daniel Karibwije, the UEPB spokesperson, said: “We shall definitely target Somalia in our export promotion business when the country stabilises.” Moses Matsiko of Pinnacle Security Company said Somalia was the firm’s next destination. “We shall eventually go to Somalia but after being assured of security,” he said. Balagadde Kiggunddu of Dreshak Security Solutions said when the company is sure of the security for its recruits, it will venture into Somalia. He noted that in Iraq and Afghanistan where the firm usually sends its recruits, there are bunkers and demarcated zones where the recruits can hide in case of an attack. Thousands of Ugandans have gone to work as security guards in Iraq and Afghanistan, a move that has reduced unemployment and boosted the country’s foreign revenues. AMISOM spokesperson Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda said there were many opportunities in Somalia which Ugandans can exploit. Since Uganda is an agricultural country, it could export food to the famine-stricken Somalia, he said. Currently, the business between the two countries is one sided. Somalis flock to Uganda to carry out business but Ugandans cannot venture into Somalia because of the insecurity.

Large Turkish group visits Somalia for durable projects, investments A big Turkish delegation comprising officials from multiple ministries and relief organizations as well as businessmen arrived in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu early on Monday to research the feasibility of various projects and investments in the drought-stricken eastern African nation. The Turkish Cooperation and Development Agency (TİKA) said in a statement posted on its website that the group included 150 representatives from the Environment and Urban Planning Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, the Ministry of Forestry and Water, the Ministry of Transportation, the Health Ministry, and the Directorate of Religious Affairs as well as the prime minister's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD), the Housing Development Administration of Turkey (TOKİ) and the Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay). “It is expected that the group of experts will conduct sector-based analysis in housing, healthcare, use of water resources and transportation,” the statement said. TİKA is coordinating all aid Turkey donates to Somalia, making sure that it is appropriately and effectively distributed. Turkey has been a frontrunner in sending humanitarian aid to the East African nation that is struggling with one of the worst famines to hit the continent. In addition to the half billion Turkish lira donated, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan paid a visit to Mogadishu late last month to draw the world's attention to the situation there. Meanwhile, as the latest of series of aid shipments from Turkey to Somalia, a cargo ship that set sail from Turkey on August 16 with tons of humanitarian aid arrived in Mogadishu on Monday. Transporting 5,000 tons of humanitarian aid, Turkish freighter “Burak A” docked at Mogadishu Port after a 22-day-long journey. The ship, dubbed the “İyilik Gemisi” (Goodness Ship), is also transporting tents, sanitary supplies, food, light work machinery and five fully equipped ambulances. The materials will be carried to Kızılay's depots in Mogadishu to be delivered to those in need. Officials say it may take five days to fully unload the ship.

A Turkish business delegation arrived in Mogadishu to evaluate the cost of proposed projects in Mogadishu, the Somalia capital, following a visit by Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to the city last month. The group of about 200 people includes engineers, doctors and businessmen, Saed Qorshel, the minister of state for transport, told reporters. Erdogan in August proposed projects including the construction of a road that links Mogadishu’s main airport to the presidential palace, as well as building hospitals and schools. Mogadishu’s infrastructure has been shattered by a two- decade-long civil war that began when the dictatorship of Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991, the last time the country had a functioning central administration.

Xukuumadda KMG Somalia oo faahfaahin ka bixisay waxqabadkeeda muddadii ay xilka haysay Isniin, September 12, 2011 (HOL) — Xukuumadda Federalka KMG ah ee Soomaaliya ayaa faahfaahin ka bixisay waxqabadkeedii dhinacyada amniga, dib-u-heshiisiinta, gar-gaarka bani’aadanimo, wadatashiga Soomaalida iyo xiriirka dowladda dhexe iyo maamulada dalka ka jira. La-taliyaha ra’iisul wasaaraha ahna afhayeenka xukuumadda mudane C/raxmaan Cumar Cismaan (Inj. Yarisow) ayaa sheegay inay jiraan horumar fara badan oo laga sameeyey dhinacyo kala duwan, hase yeeshee aysan xukuumaddu is-dhiganayn bacdamaa caqabadaha jira ay aad u badan yihiin, waqtiguna uu aad u yar yahay. "Xukuumadda waxaa ka go’an in muddada 12-ka bilood ah lagu qabto howlo far badan si loo gaaro ujeedooyinka aan hiigsaneyno," ayuu Inj. C/raxmaan Yariisow ku sheegay qoraal ay xukuumaddu soo saartay. Arrimaha horumarka ballaaran laga sameeyey ayuu ku sheegay: 1. AMNIGA: Ogoosto 6-deedii waxaa muqdisho isaga baxay Al-Shabaab. Ciidamada dowladda muddo fara badan ayay si is-daba-joog ah ayay guulo u gaarayeen dagaallada, iyadoo Al-shabaab dhallinyaro badan uga dhinteen dagaalladii ka dhacay Muqdisho. "Dowladdu waxay u saartay guddi heer wasiir ah oo qiimeyn kusoo sameeya goobihii ay ka baxeen Al-Shabaab kaddibna la dhisay ciidan gaar ah oo soo celiya amniga caasimadda, isla markaana la wareegay suuqyadii Bakaaraha iyo suuq Bacaad oo lagu guuleystay in laga illaaliyo bililiqo. Waxaa lagu guuleystay in maamullo loo sameeyo degmooyin iyo guddi amni oo xaafad walba loo sameeyay. dowladdu waxay aaminsan tahay in Al-Shabaab aysan dhiman oo ay weli nool yihiin," ayaa lagu yiri warsaxaafadeedka. 2. GAR-GAARKA BANI’AADANIMO: Xaaladda bani’aadanimo ama macluusha ka dilaacday dalka waa tii ugu xumeyd 60-kii sano ee la soo dhaafay. Sababaha keenay inay macluusha heerkan gaarto ayaa ah in Al-Shabaab ay dadkii ka hor-istaagay gargaarkii bani’aadanimo, dagaallada dalka ka soconayay muddo dheer iyo roobabkii oo yaraaday. Dowladdu waxay durbadiiba ku dhaqaaqday inay shacabka ku soo barakacay Muqdisho u sameyso xerooyin sida Bad-baado iyo Rajo oo loo sameeyay hoy, biyo isla markaana si joogta ah loo quudiyo barakacayaasha Soomaaliyeed. Dowladdu waxay ku guuleysatay qeylo dhaan rasmi ah oo keentay in madaxdii caalamka qaarkood ay yimaadaan Muqdisho, sida madaxweynaha Djibouti, ra’iisul wasaaraha Turkiga, wasiirka arrimaha dibadda Iiran, Amiirka Imaaraadka Carabta, wasiirada horumarinta caalamiga ee dalalka Ingiriiska, Holand, Sweden, Spain, Amiir Al-Waleed iyo mas’uuliyiin kale oo u soo wada gurmaday shacabka Soomaaliyeed ee tabaaleysan. Xukuumaddu waxay sameysay guddi heer wasiir ah iyo hay’adda maareynta masiibooyinka oo madax looga dhigay ururada bulshada rayidka ah si mucaawanada loo gaarsiiyo dhammaan gobollada dalka. Waxaa lagu guuleystay in caalamku uu qabto shirar lagu saacidayo shacabka sida shirkii Addis Ababa, kii Turkiga iyo kii Nairobi oo ugu danbeeyey. Ra’iisul wasaare Cabdilweli Maxamed Cali wuxuu ugu baaqay caalamka in xal waara loo helo macluusha oo shacabka Soomaaliyeed loo abuuro mashaariic horumarineed si shacabku uu isagu tashado. Dowladda Turkiga oo ka jawaabeysa codsiga ra’iisul wasaaraha waxay dhawaan billaabeysaa dib-u-dhiska isbitaalka digfeer, goobo kale ee caafimaad iyo waddooyinka Muqdisho. Xukuumaddu waxay ku dhiirri-gelisay hay’adda bisha cas ee Soomaaliyeed inay xoojiso dadaaladeeda, kuna amartay dhammaan hay’adaha bisha cas ama laan-qeyrta cas ee dalalka adduunka inay si toos ah ula soo xiriiraan bisha cas ee Soomaaliyeed oo ay ka saacidaan gar-gaarka bani’aadanimo. 3. DIB-U-HESHIISIIN IYO XIRIIRKA MAAMULADA: Ra’iisul wasaaraha barnaamijkiisa xukuumadda ee uu baarlamaanka ansixiyay waxuu ku xusay inuu xoojin doono xiriirka dowladda dhexe iyo maamulada dalka ka jira.

Al Shabaab accent is the best.

Somali militants order schools to teach Arabic MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's al Shabaab rebels have banned English from schools in the southern port city of Kismayu they control and demanded teachers switch the curriculum to include Arabic and Islamic studies. The latest edict shows the disconnect between the al Qaeda-allied rebels intent on stamping harsh laws on areas they control, and Somali leaders who have agreed to hold an election next year even though the internationally backed government barely controls any territory beyond the capital. The new school ruling also comes just days after the rebels ordered businesses on the outskirts of Mogadishu to rip down posters in English and Somali and replace them with Arabic ones. Teachers in Kismayu said al Shabaab ordered the syllabus be changed from the beginning of this month after a week of meetings between the two parties. "We used to teach the students Kenyan, Sudanese or Malaysian curricula which are written in English so that students can understand the material when they reach university," Mahmud Ali, headmaster of Mohamed Jamac secondary and primary school in Kismayu, told Reuters by phone. "But now we can't teach because we have to change everything, including our teachers who are mostly Kenyan and don't speak Arabic. We also used to teach students Somali literature, we don't know what to do now," he said. The southern port city of Kismayu has about six secondary schools that teach in English, while most of the primary schools already teach in Arabic. Al Shabaab have in the past sought to recruit school children to join a holy war against Somalia's government and its allies. They have already banned English and science studies in other parts of southern Somalia.

by Abdurrahman Warsameh MOGADISHU, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Schools in the Somali capital and throughout the Horn of African country have reopened as the new school year begins this week. Students of primary and secondary schools are the lucky ones in a country seen as having one of the lowest primary school enrolment rates in the world. The educational infrastructure has been destroyed during the two decades of civil conflict but some have been rebuilt particularly in cities and towns in Somalia. Most of the schools that are operating can enroll the few students who can afford the sometimes prohibitively high tuition fees charged for primary and secondary education. United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) says education and formal classroom learning opportunities are limited and unavailable for a majority of children in Somalia. Since the educational system in the war ravaged country collapsed, there has not been much development in a unified national curriculum. Individual schools or groups of schools follow adopted curriculums from other countries, mostly Arab states and neighboring Kenya. Schools use three languages namely the local Somali language, Arabic or English as a medium of instruction depending on the curriculum used. In this particular school at the heart of the Somali capital Mogadishu students are taught in English. Students at schools in Mogadishu have been daring general insecurity in the city to get education but as security is improving both teachers and students at this school are upbeat about the future of Somali education and the country at large. "This school is growing and students enrolment is increasing because of our highly qualified teachers who teach at this school. We are very confident that things will improve further in our educational system and in the country as a whole," Faisal Sheikh Abdulahi, Mamur Secondary School principle, told Xinhua. Education is highly regarded among Somali society and families. Those who can afford to send their children to school do not hesitate to put all of their children both boys and girls alike to school. But since the school fees and other costs are too high for most people, families send some of their children to receive education while others miss out. Students say they are determined to come to school regularly despite the constant danger they have to face on a daily bases as flare-ups of violence can suddenly erupt as they come or leave school. A number of students and teachers have been killed or injured when they went to or from school and were caught in crossfire or roadside or car bomb explosions that is a daily reality in Somalia, where radical Islamists are fighting against Somali government. "It is very tough studying in a violent zone but we have to because we don't have other option but to study and improve our lives. I have decided to come to this school after I was advised to do so by my parents," Abshir Abdi Jama, a secondary student told Xinhua. Schools in Somalia are trying to face the challenge of educating the country's young despite the seeming insurmountable hurdles to achieve the goals. Somalia has been through almost two decades of civil conflict that destroyed much of the country's infrastructure including schools and universities. Early this year, Somali government which is struggling against Islamist insurgency for the past three years managed to open the first state-run school in Mogadishu, a sign many say education is returning to the priority list of Somali government.
