For the people of Somalia, the political tide has started to turn. There is a new sense of hope replacing the despair that had taken roots from decades of abandonment and constant struggle. With fresh hands holding the reins, the result of successful elections this year and the formation of a hopeful national government led by President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre, the country has reached a tipping point. There is a chance now to redress the imbalance in favour of a nation whose history is as old as civilisation itself.
