THE COURAGE

Courage and determination are what are needed to change the future of my country. My country, Somalia, has been in civil war and starvation for over sixteen years. I always think about the future of my country. I know what my country needs is a democracy, as well as law, order and stabilization.

When I moved to this country, I learned how this modern world adapted using a democratic system. It always fascinates me, when I see people going to the polls and electing to their future leaders. When in my country we have had only one leader over twenty six years. Long time dictatorship caused in my country an anarchy and blooded civil war, which leads to starvation and displaced a millions Somalis.

Finally, I believe that other Somalis and I, who immigrated to this great country, can defeat Fanaticism, Warlordism and Dictatorship and change to our old country to a democratic system. I know this is hard work and difficult task but I still think that is a doable and worth it, changing in Somalia just needs a courage and determination.
