African milestone. Somalia gets it's first ATM machine

Some people are confused about how the machine works because they have never used one before, reports the BBC's Mohamed Moalimu from the city.

The machine, installed by Salaam Somali Bank in an upmarket hotel, allows customers to withdraw US dollars.

Somalia has a rudimentary banking sector, with many people relying on remittances from abroad.

Its development has been thwarted by more than two decades of conflict involving clan and religious-based militia groups.

It has that Muslim phrase above it so I think that means Allah protects it from any harm.

Don't think that is a Muslim phrase, looks like it says Salam Somal in Arabic.

yep. that's what I was gonna say. More everyday financial transaction are done by decentralized mobile cash rather than the banking system. Africa basically already has what Apple wishes to install in the US.

:oldlol: Its not a muslim phrase, its not muslim text, there is no country called "muslimania", its an ideology, not race & not a place/country or language..... sorry..... its arabic text.... and all middle-east arab countries (somalia is essentially one of them) use that text aswell.... christian or muslim arabs speak arabic & type in arabic.... European muslims like say me... dont understand nor use arabic/arabic text.... nor do we call Allah "Allah", we call him God in our language.... Allah = Arabic word for God.... Allah is not like Buddha or something like that, its the same exact God Christians & Jews believe in.... Jehovah, Yahweh, Gray bearded Bald old guy white Pyjamas wearing Gandalf looking dude.......

Infact because Allah in arabic means God the Christian Arabs say "Allah" aswell referring to god.... in all Arabic Christian Bibles god is referred/translated to as Allah......... infact, Christian Arabs have called god "Allah" since even before Islam existed..... its simply arabic...

Damn, dont you Americans learn this in religion & geography classes in high school?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

We barely have Math and English curriculums you think America will waste time on learning about other nations and cultures? We'd rather spend billions blowing people up than millions to actually understand them.

WTF seriously? A country can be so backwards that they don't even have an ATM machine?:lol

Anyway, some history trivia. The world's richest person in history (adjusted for inflation) , is not a white. It is a black african king from the 14th century named
Mansa Musa 1 and his wealth at $400 billion dwarfs the current holder Carlos Slim of $79.6 billion. How ironic.
