This is the right man for Somalia. Great interview..

[General Duke]

"Since we are 100% Muslim, Islam is a way of life and not just spiritual...” ....President Hassan.

He spoke about security being the priority, social service delivery, making sure that every family has a meal, at least one.

Al Shabaab Somali's must be given hope and an alternative.

The debt is large and a burden on Somalia. However we shall work hard with the international community to bring it down, or at least not to take any more or not too much..

 

Top priority is to alleviate the suffering of the Somali people.. To create an enabling environment where the refugees can come back, IDP's can return to their villages and traditional areas and where the Diaspora can invest in the country...

[General Duke]

This man has my support. If he attempts what he stated in this short interview he will be a great President, the best since 1968..

 

Viva Somalia.

We have a mature president who understands where we are at today , understands the suffering...

 

But much remain to be seen, a lot will depend how he navigates political challenges domestic and foreign

There was a broad alliance with Cosoble as well to stop the two Sharif's..

[Yunis]

Our new policies will be revolving around one important issue; and that is eliminating the suffering of Somali people and where we can not eliminate it, we need to reduce it to at least to an acceptable levels.

a real understanding of the core issue in today's Somalia. With the right prime minister and cabinet this guy can make history for the better.

[walaalkis]

His great on giving his points , is not only up to him but all Somalis as one

[Abwaan]

Sounds like a man who knows what he is supposed to do. Good luck to him and May Allah guide him.

[Abtigiis]

Great man. This is the leadership that we all longed for. People who fell proud with when they step out and talk. Compare this to the sermons of Sheikh Sharif. Clear example that education matters in politics and that Puntlanders will need to get Faroole out of office for he is a relic of the old school of somali politics.

[omar12]

I like this guy, ALOT. Alhamdulillah he won
