Okay, great photo op yes, but let's not have another globetrotter like the last guy. I would actually respect a leader more if he stayed in his country to help solve the problems at home, we have foreign ministers who can do all the customary visits with the "allies".

This is his first trip outside Somalia since he was elected on the 10th of September 2012. I think that's pretty good. And remember, both of these men, the prime minister of Ethiopia and the president of Djibouti attended his inauguration ceremony.

Nice pictures!! Actually his first trip outside of Somalia was to Uganda for their independence day celebration.

True. It was Uganda's golden jubilee celebrations organized by non other than their long time dictator, Yoweri Museveni.

These are some great pics. 100 percent certified presidential... the guy look sincere and decent despite whatever his past maybe. I hope he leads Somalia to a better future. And he should travel more and learn from other countries in my opinion.

At least he's not travelling in those expensive private planes Shariif used to use. Good on him for supporting local airlines.
