Somalis leverage China education in recovery effort

MOGADISHU - Somali youth are on the front line of promoting recovery in the strife-torn African nation after pursuing higher education in foreign countries, including China.

In recent years, hundreds of Somali students have undergone university education in China, either through scholarships or through self-sponsorship.

These graduates are now forming the backbone of the country's key sectors, such as education, health and engineering, among others.
