Journalist grills Somalia's government/deputy PM

Post by Futurist »

He literally holds nothing back, calls him out on his bullshit and holds him to account for his government's endless failings. This is true journalism. Has does not shy away from the tough questions.

"Human rights have worsened. Demographic pressures have worsened. The security apparatus has worsened. Economic development has worsened. State legitimacy has worsened. Frequent murders of politicians and activists. Yet still you are actually still telling the public that Somalia is making progress? Is the government really controlling the territory?"

"Somalia officially has 22,000 standing troops. Unofficial estimates put the real number as low as 10,000. It appears that officers inflate the number of troops in order to pocket the surplus wages. How long do you think you can continue fooling your people and the international community about the army and your security standards?"
