I find it very hard to believe that Somalia has better telcom infrastructure than South Africa or Morocco (among others.) Indeed, the CIA World Factbook seems to contradict the assertion:
general assessment: the public telecommunications system was almost completely destroyed or dismantled during the civil war; private companies offer limited local fixed-line service and private wireless companies offer service in most major cities while charging the lowest international rates on the continent
domestic: local cellular telephone systems have been established in Mogadishu and in several other population centers with one company beginning to provide 3G services in late 2012
EDIT: Doh, wrecksdart beat me to it.
