More than any other failed state in Africa, Somalia has been in the news a lot lately.
First, several Somalis were convicted in a $250 million scheme to defraud U.S. taxpayers by claiming they cooked meals for children when they were really buying sports cars. Then several Somali politicians in the U.S., including Ilhan Omar, announced that they’re working on behalf of Somali interests, not America’s. Then a Somali man in a playground in Minnesota harassed a woman named Shiloh Hendrix and her 18-month-old child, prompting the woman to drop the n-bomb heard around the world. Then, to cap it all off, the Democrat Party endorsed a Somali socialist to be the next mayor of Minneapolis. And at the moment, he appears to be the frontrunner.
