Going into Somalia, I didn't anticipate how many people's lives would be affected by it. In hindsight, I certainly wish I had taken more time to think about that, but I can't change it.

Somalia is an important story in the world, and it needed to be told.

What happened to me in Somalia doesn't define me.

I left Somalia when I was seven years old, but I witnessed a whole year in a war.

For the security of the UK, it matters a lot for Somalia to become a more stable place.

An oversupply of national sentiment is not the problem in Somalia. The problem is a lack of it. The problem is an oversupply of sub-sub-clannish attitude.

I think the biggest challenge for Somalia has been the sense that it is a hopeless case of incomprehensible internal conflicts and there is nothing we can do.

The people of Somalia just do not have a voice. They are to me the most forgotten people in the world.

I have big hope for the Canadian government to help Somalia with something concrete and tangible. I haven't seen that.
