Qandalawi Posted May 14, 2012 I watched it last night, it wasn't any interesting, the usual western reporting style, he went to Mogadishu and had only concentrated talking about piracy, Alshabaab, guns and AMISOM. He did not visit the main markets of the city, the booming business sector and semblance of peace of Mogadishu in the past few months, also never talked to the average people on the street. He was just another western reporter focusing on the negative to appease his audience. Even when in Hargeisa he only visited the money exchange market and the IDP's camps, spending his entire airing BBC time on laughing about the money and taking a trip with the kids who claim to have never seen a sea to the 'Indian ocean', its funny how he kept repeating the Indian ocean when in fact it was the Red Sea - but I wouldn't blame him because I don't think he did it on purpose but out of ignorance. I was looking forward to see a lot from Mogadishu, Hargeisa and all of Somalia but this was disappointing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted May 14, 2012 ^ hey qandalawi, were the kids a bunch of diaspora dhaqan celis who are being rehabilitated here in somaliland. i was offered a part in the programme but refused due to a last minute conflict of interest issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpha Blondy Posted May 14, 2012 you know very well there is no limit to my attention seeking antics. its like my whole life is dominated by my obsession with being seen and heard at any given opportunity. in the end i sent a girl i'm friends with in my place despite knowing that men and women cannot be friends without there being some form of attraction (daily mail research). she reciprocated.

Samafal Posted May 14, 2012 His whole trip was " show me any bad news to report so I can intrigue my audience with wild claims." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
