A think-tank or policies advisory group is a great idea, not unlike the forum for inteelectuals in the horn that gathers in Djibouti; we need the likes of Abdi Samatar or that Prof Afrad in Qatar that sounds impressive and to prevent petty groups sectarism.

An organization led by Aynte, Hashi, and Ms Asha Elmi does not promise much in national sense. But it signifies a step in the right direction in so far as Mogadishu's local politics is concern.

Maybe we need the Darwish Foundation in pland and then umbrella will unify both a a later stage ;

still, what matters is that anti-corruption or focus of the economy and states policies towards equality will influence other Somalis too...
