Good post. Check the grammar and be sure to tell the facts of how the country got to its present state of chaos and anarchy. Also, how is President Ahmed as a leader? Is he a good president? Is he respected as a world leader and a representative for his people? What is a Parliament? Do people agree with the current government or do they express their disagreement through violence and protest? Are there elections? Think about ways to expand the information in this post and you should still cite your source even though you have a link exchange with another site. Be sure to double check your facts with multiple sources.
