The Somali Government’s First 100 Days
On 3 March 2013 Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon stood before parliament and presented his government’s accomplishments of its first hundred days. Such a proactive strategy in itself is commendable.

Dhanka kale, isu-dheelli-tirnaan la’aanta waxqabadka dibadda iyo kuwa guduhu waa arrin laga welwelo. Waxaa sidoo kale walaac ka imanayaa is-buurashada xafiisyada fulinta ee dalka ugu sarreeya, waayo waxaa madaxtooyada lagu eedaynayaa in ay gacmo-gacmaynayso hawlaha dastuurku u gooni yeelay Golaha Wasiirada.
