You never heard of the Elman center? It is the most important Somali-formed think tank in the world. It deals in conflict resolution and civic building. I just didn't know about the namesake's history until now. Inspirational man

A great man, indeed. His killing marked the beginning of a long and bloody era of politically motivated assassinations in Somalia. May he rest in peace!

This is a lie. People from Gedo were fleeing Mogadishu and not the other way around. They were getting killed in Mogadishu by the Moryaans. Fuuckin revisionist are annoying.
