Re: Specifically, how would Somali ex-pats send money to relatives using bitcoins?
In many countries, converting fiat currency to BTC and vice-versa is a problem. What's the best answer? Just use Bitcoin. If you can convince someone to accept Bitcoin as payment for a good or service then you don't have to worry about converting BTC to fiat. However, until that happens there will be the problems of converting BTC to fiat currency.
my thoughts on this exactly.
you just need some importer in Somalia who can pay for his imports (eg mobile phones etc) in btc instead, then he gets his USD back when he sells his imports
pretty simple really, maybe start sending them the emails they send us,

Job opportunity: Help needed to cash cheques import goods etc. etc. ...
