Turkish people were always kind. I remembered my childhood friends from North London, well done Turkey we have missed your leadership in the Ummah these past decades.

^^^Yes indeed, but thats not just Shaif's failure its a Somali failure we dont care about the people, our "leaders" and elites only care about themselves. Thus they fight over the people while their children live in safety. But its a great day, I am glad that Mogadishu has welcomed and did well in reciving this top delegation. Viva Turkiye

^^^Mogadishu the capital of Somalia is back insha Allah.

Turkish PM visits famine-hit Somalia and calls on west to do moreRecep Tayyip Erdogan describes the crisis as a 'litmus test' for humanity as he visits a refugee camp in Mogadishu with his wife Share142 reddit this Reuters in Mogadishu guardian.co.uk, Friday 19 August 2011 14.48 BST Article history The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and his wife, Emine, meet refugees at a camp in Somalia. Photograph: Umit Bektas/Reuters The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has visited Somalia to draw international attention to the famine sweeping across the Horn of Africa. Erdogan, who was accompanied in Mogadishu by his family and five cabinet ministers, has appealed for more food aid for the drought-hit country and lashed out at wealthy western countries for not doing more. Somalia's president, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, welcomed Erdogan at the airport with a warm embrace. Erdogan, dressed in a sharp suit, and his wife, Emine, who wore haute-couture Islamic dress, then drove through the city's rubbish-strewn streets. At one dusty, windswept refugee settlement, Erdogan crouched inside the tent of Bashir and Fatima, a young couple mourning the loss of two of their four children who died after walking 55 miles to Mogadishu. Emine Erdogan handed out chocolates and sweets. On Wednesday, Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) countries pledged $350m (£121m) in aid to fight the famine, which has left 3.7 million Somalis at risk of dying of hunger. Erdogan has said he hopes the OIC's efforts will jolt the consciences of those ignoring the unravelling humanitarian emergency. A pious Muslim, he has called the disaster a "litmus test" for humanity. The withdrawal of most Islamists from their Mogadishu bases earlier in the month has in effect handed full control of the capital to the government for the first time since civil war broke out in 1991. Somali troops and African peacekeepers are still meeting pockets of rebel resistance in the city, highlighting the view of regional observers that the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab insurgents are far from defeated. Security forces flooded Mogadishu's main streets, where Turkish flags fluttered in the coastal breeze and posters adorned the walls of mortar-blasted buildings. "Prime minister Erdogan's visit tells us the Turkish people are closer to us than any other Muslim nation on earth," said one resident, Abdirashid Ali Omar. "The Turkish people are here to share with us in our time of need. It is momentous." Muslim Turkey, a rising political and economic power that straddles east and west, is far behind other emerging powers such as China, Brazil or India in the race for new markets in Africa. But under Erdogan's ruling AK party, Turkey has expanded commercial ties in Africa, as well as in the Middle East and Asia, and opened several new embassies in Africa. The UN's World Food Programme said on Friday it was still unable to reach 2.2 million hungry people living in areas of southern Somalia controlled by al-Shabaab, whose bloody campaign to topple the government has cost more than 20,000 lives. Aid agencies say that while droughts are a natural phenomenon, this famine is largely down to conflict and bad governance. "Droughts will happen. They always will, but they don't have to be disasters. They can be managed," Oxfam's Philippa Crosland-Taylor said in neighbouring Kenya.

I agree with you. These people lack kindness. Somalia needs new leaders. Insha Allah we shall get them

Si kastaba ha ahaatee Booqshada Raysalwsaaraha Turkiga ayaa ah mid indhaha caalamka ku soo jeedineysa dalka Soomaaliya ee loogu yeeri jirey Dawladdii Khasaartey. Horseed Media

Val, not just victims, these people want to be leaders of the nation while dividing the people. Sharif Ahmed says he is the President of Somalia, yet will never visit any location outside Mogadishu? Faroole states that he wants to bring Somalia together, yet will not accept a meeting in Mogadishu? Siilanyu is the leaders of Somaliland, yet refuses to meet Somali's and rushes to hugg others.. These people have no basic undertsanding of leadership..

Godane, Fuad Shangoole and Xasan Dahir think kindness is killing, maiming and pretending to be tough guys. They refuse to even meet their people.

Siilanyu would rather visit Addis Ababa and Chinese airports and refusues to care to even venture to any Somali city other than his enclave.

Sharif pretends to be the President of Somalia but does not want to hold a meeting in Garowe nor visit Hargaysa nor visit Bosaso nor visit Abudwaaq..

The Somali leaders think that dressing up and foing to hotels is leadership while their people starve to death.. Faroole is unable becuase of his ignorance to visit Mogadishu...

^^^That picture is amazing, it says that the first family of the most powerful Muslim nation are here among the people. Its sends a clear message, Somali's wake up.

PM Erdogan to me you will always be a hero. Superman of the Muslim world, you have broken the blockade on Somalia and we hope our leaders and would be leaders take you as an example. Viva Turkiye

Mogadishu port and airport are working well. However it's the sentiment that counts. Well done to Somaliland for opening Berbera for food aid, now use the light rail to deliver it to Souther regions.

And XX man lost the race,'congrats to Yusuf Xasan the winner of this historic election.
