"This isn't an election, its a selection"

"Garbage in garbage out"

"They bought their seats, they expect to earn it back.."

"There are aspects of this race that make it seem less like its for the presidency and more for the mayor's office of Mogadishu"

Peter Pham used to milk Somaliland 100s of thousand dollars, telling them he'll get them ictiraaf. At one point, he was giving a testimony to US Senate and when he brought SL, one of the senators told him "we understand you're paid lobbyist for SL." This dog and cat-eating Vietnamese almost froze to death to the point where he didn't respond to it.

Him being a future under US under Secretary of State? That is a joke!

Sorry to break it to you but he's is the top leading canidate for the job. It's only a matter of when.

In the Africa Bureau at State, officials report that routine business continues but no new initiatives can be undertaken until policy directions are adopted by top administration decision makers. Linda Thomas-Greenfield - a career senior foreign service officer selected for the post in 2014 by then-Secretary John Kerry, succeeded Carson. She has been asked to remain in the post until her successor is named, Department sources say.

A leading choice to replace her is widely thought to be Dr. J. Peter Pham, Vice President for Research and Regional Initiatives and Director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council, a Washington, DC think tank. He is a prolific author of analytical essays and books whose work has focused on African security issues. Africa policy experts outside government see Pham as a well-informed specialist who would listen to diverse views about complex situations.

That would be quite a change because the Obama administration was more anti Somaliland than Egypt.
