Their advocacy stemmed from its founder Dr. Ismail Ahmed’s frustrations over sending cash to his relatives in Somalia through offline, agent-based services. With technology facilitating the rapid globalization of the marketplace today, it’s no wonder that international money transfer startups are popping up to provide more payment options and autonomy to buyers and sellers alike. Plus, transactions are more secure now, so there’s less stress involved in the process.

But honestly, if someone is visiting Somalia it might impact some planning activities. In the past 3 or 4 days, I have received blog notices from Brad Feld , Fred Wilson and Steve Blank that they are on vacation.

I heard America has the worse statistics (behind Somalia) on gun related murders per capita in the world. I try not to get too political on my blog, but sometimes an event happens like the killing of 20 six and seven year old kids by a mentally unstable individual, who had access to a semi-automatic gun, that compels me to write something. The stories about their bodies riddled with multiple bullets, make me shudder. I can’t imagine the horror and pain those parents must feel.
