I don't think that you can really call Somalia a country. It's been in shambles for 20 years and it's unlikely that I will ever see a functioning government there. However, despite knowing of these problems, I was amazed to learn that some in Somalia, the Shabab, think it perfectly fine to award prizes of automatic rifles and live hand grenades to kids ranging in age from 10 to 17. The prizes were awarded to kids who did well in a quiz on Islam. The Shabab apparently believe “Children should use one hand for education and the other for a gun to defend Islam.”
