Saw it on
VRT Canvas, on Somalia and some man (Ahmed Jama Mohamed) coming back from
London to rebuild his businesses by investing some of the profits from his
London restaurant: 4 restaurants and a beach resort 'The Village' at Jazira
Beach.
He is
also into politics in a natural human manner: feeding the tribal elders
regularly in order to attract them to his position. But doesn't really like it,
because it makes him even more of a target to the islamists than he already is,
with Al Shabaab attacking him and his businesses (one 'successful' suicide
attack).
The man
is very interesting, but the journalist doesn't ask him at all how he became
who he is. The journalist is sort of dumb, talks about brave idealism, but
doesn't understand a thing about the natural law: Ahmed is presented as some
admirable dreamer, but the really important things will have to come from
politics. He also doesn't go into the matter of the islamist threat. They are
just awful terrorists to him, without having any link to the islamic belief
system. Big omenous words ("country at the crossroads"), no real
understanding, as usual on TV.
