Times are changing around Djibouti, they recently held their most open election ever, and their next parliament will be the first in the great countries history. Their leader right now is Ismail Omar Guelleh, and he must seem pretty confident that there is not chance of him losing, because in 2010 he amended the constitution that allows him to stand for a third term. This election probably won't be the most fair one out there, that's for sure. Holding an election like this is pretty major for this tiny country, no matter how unfair it is, in 2011 they convicted a leading opposition presidential candidate for terrorism. That's pretty crazy, could you imagine if someone was going to do that in the United States? You can't even talk down to someone without getting yelled at. The leaders in Djibouti are pretty greedy about keeping their spots, and seem to do anything to keep them. They don't care about their countries major debt/unemployment issues, all they care about is how they look to people. I certainly do not see a very bright future for Djibouti. The question that this article is asking is if the world is going to start to keep an eye on the smaller and remote countries, especially after what has been happening in Mali. Let me tell you, I'd rather be in Didyabooty.

Best Buy taking a step back
Best Buy realizes that they are charging a bit too much and their income is taking a huge dip.They realize that they cannot keep up with their competitors with higher prices. Show rooming has completely killed Best Buy and now they are going to have to step off their throne atop the electronic business. Best Buy has released a list of the companies who's prices they are going to be attempting to match. They have cut down their return policy from 30 days to 15 days. This is going to be huge change, but it was the only way that Best Buy can stay afloat.

Rihanna and Chris showing their love.....
At the Grammys the couple was showing their affection in the audience. They were snuggling and they didn't seem to mind the cameras one bit. The cute couples obviously doesn't care what I think or what anyone else thinks about their relationships. Sure they have had their ups and their downs, but that shouldn't mean that they can't have a healthy relationship in 2013. Ryan Seacrest didn't even bother asking about their relationship, maybe he was afraid of being hit, instead he talked to him about his car accident. Chris doesn't seem to bothered about it, he just plans on getting a new one. Good luck to the new/old couple in the future.

Bin Laden likes theme parks!
The town in which Osama bin Laden was killed is now planning to build a huge 500-acre theme park. They are planning to feature some fake waterfalls, a zoo, and restaurants. The building where Osama was shot has been demolished so that it wouldn't become of shrine, which would cause a lot of controversy. Work on the huge park will begin later this month, and it has a budget of about 30 million dollars. The whole project its self is supposed to take around 8 years, and I'm sure that there is going to be a lot of speculation around the subject. But according to Yahoo this isn't the weirdest theme park out there.
