Quotes

  • [on Somalian president Hassan Sheik Mohamud] Almost twenty years of rebuilding in Rwanda has taught us that there is no definitive manual for leading nations through and beyond debilitating conflict. President Mohamud is faced with the difficult task of balancing much needed international assistance with asserting Somalia's right to govern itself.
