Me and my career: Rageh Omar
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2002/ma ... s.studentsI first became interested in my teens. I'm originally from Somalia and lots of my family have travelled far and wide, throughout Africa, the middle east and Europe. I grew up sitting around a kitchen table with people talking about Africa and the wider world.
I saw journalism as a really good way of getting out into the world and, as someone who was born in Somalia, educated in the west and is a Muslim, I feel at home in several different cultures.
My Question to those that support the retarded idea of secessionist is, what makes Rageh any different from the countless members of the iidoor clan who grew up, educated in London and who profess to hate Somalia?
Is he just more intelligent?

if the secessionist, are unable convince Rageh Omaar, a student of both history & politics and a man who has covered recent conflicts around the world. Then how can they convince anyone?

In my opinion the smart folks iidoor or not believe in Somalia, the dumb folks an their foot soldiers accept as true a fairy tale called "Somaliland" the secessionist cause is based on Qabil, yet they can not convince Rageh, how will you convince the UN to recognize them.
