    Capt. Mohamed Yusuf Mohamed of the Somali National Armed Forces, seen here with the national colors, is a recent graduate of the Army Logistics University. Immigrating to the United States with his family nearly 29 years ago, the Southern Maine University graduate was headed for a promising diplomatic career, but a trip to the Somali capital of Mogadishu diverted him to join the military to address the country's security issues. He said he intends to stay as long as it takes to facilitate change in the East African nation.
