I was with a group of friends last night and we were talking about somalia and elections and someone asked who is the most honest somali politician. We all drew blanks untill someone mentioned Maryan Qassim. I havent heard a single person speak ill of her. Shes raised amazing succesfull children, she is educated, well spoken and religious and she doesnt seem to have ulterior motives other than wanting to truly make somalia and somalis better off.
