I think it is not too late for us, Somalis, to start cooperating with the rest of Africa and learn how to exchange ideas, skills without looking down on anyone. Even North African Arabs are embracing their Africanimo...so why not us?
I remember from a TED talk that I watched, a Ghanian enterprenuer and software engineer quit his Microsoft job soon after the civil war broke out in Somalia to start a liberal Arts college that sponsors students from all corners of Africa. Today, the college he started is one of the best colleges in West Africa.
