How about teaching him how to take control of the interview, and the different between speaking to local media versus international outlets. His office should study Pahlavi's mastery in handling media.
Instead of sounding a 5th grade neophyte on a day trip, he should speak Somali, if not confident in expressing his responses in English, or have an interpreter to better formulate his answers. Better yet, employ young people trained in public communications, and have them field questions from the media.
The interviewer asked some very tough and loaded questions. I thought HSM handled it pretty well. it takes guts to do these foreign interviews. They wonβt hesitate to grill you like local somali interviewers would have.
When one's command of the language is that of a teenager, no matter how well-versed one might be on the subjects, one's responses are going to sound as if lacking weight.
Questions were not really hard, as anyone familiar with the case of Somalia, as AJ is, would be expected to wander about, for there are so many to choose from.
Simple case: he was digressing quite a bit opening up multiple fronts to his downfall delving into rape cases (why O why) - he is not doing himself any favour. As a stable fodder, locals might feast upon his giving examples, but hard-nosed outlets will nitpick, and make him appear as a complete arse, as was the case here.
