We hope for the better after the visit,I wish the honour remains for our President! Mobutu Seseku of DRC once was welcomed by US President then, but they eventually denounced him and died in exile!!!
It doesn’t mean anything really, same guys will hit him when time comes. They are putting up with him for the sake of Somalia specification but they know and indeed told him what a big thief he was with his Army Generals who are procuring saucepans of Shs.150,000 market price for 2m instead.
