Commending Somalis

[Calaf]

Everyday there are threads about the negativity of the Somalis, but rare of postivity. We need to commend the good of the somalis and not the bad. I will start with 2 Somalis in London Who I feel is a inspiration to Somalis, and a pride of Somalia.

Lets praise and commend those worthy of being commended!
