For years, Somalia, plagued by ethnic strife, was the odd—and sad—example of a country that somehow operated without a government. Now the country has a Somali-Norwegian prime minister who is a former humanitarian worker and oil executive and a parliament filled with entrepreneurs, media managers, civil society members, fashion designers, and even university students. Many members are young, hold dual citizenships, and hail from diverse backgrounds. 25 percent of the parliamentarians are women, and 60 percent of the members are between 25 and 50.
