It heralds a new page in politics. My nomination as the foreign minister is historic for the Somali country and particularly for the women of Somalia, it turns a new page for the political situation of our country and will lead to success and prosperity. When we had famine, nobody did listen to us, nobody did come to us in order to help. Your Prime Minister came with his family and cabinet, brought us those helps which uplifted us. It was such a change for the Somali people which we will never forget. As one friend wrote in his article 'Small step for Adan but giant step for Somalia'. Its historic and it will give a lot of chance to the young and educated people of Somalia. They would never think to reach such a thing.
