In a report from CNN the war torn country of Somalia seems to be trying to fix the situation it is in. The president of Somalia has reached out to the International community in order to end an insurgency by a islamic extremist group who is designated a terrorist group. The president, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, has claimed that the group, Al-Shabab, is also responsible for attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a big step for Somalia. They are clearly trying to take steps in stabalizing Mogadishu and this may lead to efforts to stop the pirates too. I hope that the UN or someone steps up to fight this group. This probably won't happen because the last time a power went into Somalia in 93 it turned out to be a disaster. Hopefully Somalia's situation will become better and this country can do something. It just isn't fair for what they have to go through. Maybe there is a bright future ahead for the Somali people.
