Unfortunately not bad enough. But, we are making progress no matter how minuscule, it's still a progress. There are people who still believe in the greater cause & who have never forgotten the dignity that comes with being a Somali. Earlier today, I was looking at pictures on hiiraan of diplomats who came to pay respects to President Abdullahi Yusuf (aun) at the Somali embassy in Nairobi including the American ambassador, along with a host of others from all over the world. That's what dowladnimo looks like and that's what Abdullahi Yusuf represented. This was virtually unheard of a few years ago, embassy employees used to boss our people around, let alone an actual ambassador visiting any Somali embassy to offer condolences. It may not be much, but I believe people like Dr. Gaas and many others including ambassador Ali Amerika are working to make incremental changes. In due time and with a permanent government, and with the right people - we will get there.
