Congress member pledges to protect Somalia’s waters
This is what I said, the U.S. government is
doing whatever we say to the U.S. government
to do. That is the confidence we have in ourselves,
we Somalis, if we are truly Somalis. We are the ones who
live in this country, this is the country where we pay taxes,
it is the country where a girl born from among you
sits in Congress. As long as I am in Congress,
no one else will take Somalia’s waters
and its sea. And I will not support the United States
in allowing other people to rob us.
So sleep on that.
