"We Somalis all know that Yusuf is against any peace agreement," Mohamed Aden, a regional administrator in Somalia, told TIME. "If it comes to elections, Yusuf will lose because he is so unpopular...

There are players with all three on the pitch, but Reid has a problem: the stadium's floodlighting is so patchy that he can barely make out the numbers on the shirts. That's par for the course in Thailand's shambolic and unpopular league, where facilities are poor, and players and officials often outnumber fans. The game ends 0-0, but Reid doesn't wait for the final whistle - he nips off early to watch a live broadcast of Manchester United playing Liverpool...
