The Libertarian Experiment, Continued

Interesting NY Times article about Mohamed Aden, who emigrated to the United States at the age of 22 but returned to Somalia 15 years later when the elders of his tribe offered to make him their leader. He has been finding the job easier than he expected:

And for all you former and current Minnesotans out there:

“We needed a man of peace and he is from a peaceful place, Minnesota,” said one elder, Mohamed Ali Farah.
