Somalia: U.S. Recognizes Government

Somalia: U.S. Recognizes Government

This is the article I read for this assignment because it always interesting me to see what’s going on back home. To give you some background information before I get to the article and what the article is talking about. First you have to know that in the past two decades they were civil wars going in Somalia and they haven’t been a central government for all this time. So, last year Somali parliament elected a new president and 6 months later The United State government recognized the new Somali government. “Today is a milestone,” said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton after talks with Somalia’s president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. “It is not the end of the journey, but it is an important milestone toward that end.”
