My Take

Of these five, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali commands the most sober respect. Born in Dusmareb and trained as an economist out of Somali National University, he took on the prime ministership of Somalia from 2011 to 2012, steering a country in profound turmoil. Accepting that role demands a courage most of us never have to summon. I trust a scholar-politician who reaches for economic reasoning to rebuild a state rather than mere rhetoric, and his work as a writer suggests a man committed to leaving his ideas on the record. To me, his intellect in service of a fractured homeland deserves genuine admiration.
