Who knew?

Did you know Somalia had a Minister for Tourism? I almost fell out of my chair in disbelief this morning when I read that. Can you think of a tougher job? Who would want to visit? With each tourist visa do they issue a flak jacket and your own personal bomb disposal unit? Is one of the tourist highlights the public stoning of some poor woman who contravened one of Al Shabab’s archaic and barbaric laws? Or better yet, can we play pirates for a day? I’d personally love to attack a French warship … oh wait, that was already tried and it really didn’t go over well.
With the hardline extremist group Al Shabab gaining so much control of Somalia, I think I’ll leave this country off my “must see list”
