Libya to Step in and Fund Somalian Infrastructure

Benin's Intro:

This article was written by a contributor to the African Path news network (of which Cheetah Index is part of)-Shabelle Media.  They publish stories from Somalia.  I enjoyed this article because for the most part, what does the media ever say about Somalia? War and destruction-aggression with Ethiopia and clashes between the Somali clans, right?

But how many people know that despite all of this an amazingly thriving business community exists there.  Somali's themselves have developed into master business people and it is great to see Libya recognizing this-although sometimes I wonder about Libya's alterior motives anytime they go to other parts of Africa publicizing their good deeds.  It makes me go back to the question of, "What was Kadafi thinking when he tried to push the idea of a United States of Africa-with himself as the president?"
