AK-47 vs. Soccer Ball

Many people have been asking the picture on the cover and what it supposed to mean. Well here’s the thing, the kid with the gun, and the soccer ball represents the essence of the cover article. The cover article analyses why we like warlords, see we all have our own warlords that we like, because they uphold our own clan politics or what not, every Somali belongs to a clan its given. The kid is victim of the warlord and those in the Diaspora who give money to the warlord – see the warlord becomes the father of orphans and he mobilizes them with the money he gains from his supporters in the west. The picture has many readings, so I won’t get into the specifics of it, but do let me know if the image has a different message or concept.
