It's a start.


United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon (R) and Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed (L) address a news conference at the end of the International Somali donors conference in Brussels April 23, 2009. International donors have pledged more than $250 million to help Somalia boost security and restore order, a senior European Union official said on the sidelines of a donors conference on Thursday.

Mike, we're too used to failures in Somalia

maybe if we believe they'll fail, they'll actually produce concrete results

I hear ya B, but this is at a whole different level

250 million is alot of money, i hope they dont miss-use it.

What happened to the millions of $$$$$ pledged to support Afghanistan? Pledge pledge pledge and more pledge, nothing tangible will come out of pledges. Besides, Ali Geeddi and Yeey siphoned much more and squandered. So, what makes Ahmed any different, and why would they trust him?
