He is an excellent Journalist. Mansha'Allah

Hi Barwaaqo. They have showed a clip of him, standing next to some American military vehicles, and personnel this prolly gives the impression that he is embedded. I guess that makes him the SECOND western reporter (after peter arnett?) to report from baghdad.

Gediid ...I thought that was hilarious but to a certain extent I thihk there is alot of truth to it. Having grown up among Africans I can somehow a gree with that statement. While growing in Africa its assumed that the man is the provider and even if the woman is a success, she will still expect to share what the man has worked for despite it being far less than what she already earns and ofcouse not forgetting the nags. Careerwise Very few black women tend to do what white women do. However, as far as general life is concerned, black women are up there.

I've also noticed that most of the famous somalis that were listed above r married to non-somalis, and most of them to non-muslims...!!! Do you have to merry a non-somali to be successful in life....!!!

I think that this guy should be seen as a role model for what he has managed to achieve for himself. Take a look down.
