Puntland Prez: Red A Fodder

I see that this week the Chinese have sent destroyers into the waters off the Horn of Africa to protect their shipping interests from pirates.

Much of the piracy is based in Somalia and Puntland. (govt site)

Now I'm sure this would have been mentioned at some point if I were still around Taichung so here's the Red A fodder part (and in some oddly perverted way, I actually kinda miss his malicious digs at Canada) - enjoy!

The president of Puntland, Mohamud Muse Hersi ran a gas station and raised a family in Ottawa between 1979 and the mid 1990s.

I am picturing palm rubbing and grin-giggling.

He has repeatedly denied profiting from Puntland piracy.

    "I am picturing palm rubbing and grin-giggling."

    I did it.

    To be fair, the warlord from the 90's Farah Aideed (sp?) had a son who was in the US Marine Corps when the US was in Somalia.
