I saw some social media folks attacking
@SalahJama, Somalia’s Deputy Prime Minister, who is currently attending the World Economic Forum.
First of all, the WEF is an INVITE-ONLY forum — governments do not go or “send” people there; organizers invite participants and speakers.
Secondly, he is probably one of the best-suited and most articulate people this government could have had there, if it were even up to them to send someone, along with the Finance Minister
@BihiEgeh, who is also getting some flak.
@KhadraDuale, our ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva, is a patriot from a family of patriots, and she is also being targeted by smears.
These are fine Somalis serving their nation, and those attacking them are serving other interests and/or are useful idiots.
