Brother and sisters this has been pondering in my mind for a very long time. What is the Truth and reconciliation Commission? The Truth & Reconciliation Commission, or TRC, is the constitutional body set up to investigate alleged atrocities during the apartheid era and where appropriate, grant amnesty to the perpetrators and compensation to the victims. If the TRC worked for other countries like South Africa, East Timor, and Sierra Lione. Then Why not us. In my opinion we have to have history in a written form or even narrative in public library. So that we never have to deal with what has happened in our nation. Other nations have gone through what is exactly happening in our country like sierra lione. This is some of the findings I found while researching this subject. 1)To write a report which publicises the work and findings of the TRC and which contained a set of recommendations of measures aimed to prevent the future violation of human rights. 2)To establish the fate or whereabouts of victims of gross violations of human rights and to assist in restoring their human and civil dignity by giving them an opportunity to testify as to their experiences and by recommending various measures aimed at providing reparation and rehabilitation to victims. 3)To grant amnesty to persons who have committed acts associated with political objectives. 4)To establish as complete a picture as possible of the causes, nature and extent of gross violations of human rights which occurred in the civil war. Source Truth.org You see healing our past and talking about it will help our souls to heal. By providing official acknowledgment of past crimes the process helps restore dignity to victims. Sometimes describing the terrible details can bring peace. If we establish a truth commission it offers victims a chance to finally tell what happened to them. The chance to tell one's story and be heard without interruption or skepticism is crucial to so many people, and nowhere more vital than for survivors of trauma. Advocates of truth commissions often point to research on crime victims. In many cases just by being able to tell their story is tremendously therapeutic for victims of violence. Truth commissions can assist in the healing process by the fact that the listener has official status. I think that it would be a very good idea. Since recently we just had a transitional government. So fellow nomads what do you think of this idea? Do you think the somali people can live next door to each other without vengeance and hatred afther this happens? Some of Rwandas People did... Can we move from this era of hatred between tribes and love each other in ALLAHS eyes? Will there ever be peace between the somali people? Do you think that the TRC will actually help our people in a therapeutic way? Do you think this process can actually work? Sources Trininstitute and gov of SA

I used to really argue with people when they said that males and females can't be really friends. Until all my male friends started to confess started saying lets take it to the next level or Am in love with you.....Gosh what ackward moments...of course I would give them the speeches of I see you like a brother,,,,or I would just walk away and say nothing at all or I would tell them I don't really see you that way but I would love to keep you as friends if that it oky with them..... but I also think after the ackward moments have passed and if they are really serious about the friendship then You can really be friends. For me though I only have two one somali and is married. The other is non-somali and we have been friends ever since my freshman year of highschool. The great thing about him is inshallah He is taking his Shahadah on his birthday next month....He learned how to speak somali...we took classes together in arabic He is even better than me...He can read the quran with no problems... He has become part of my family. We are also looking for a good muslimah for him to marry...

For me it has to be the GEICO Insurance commercials...

^^^^^Thanks Stoic for explaining to us. This might be also helpful it is from a org Somali Fisheries Society The Hazardous Waste Imports Issue Somalia's coastline was very rich and able to support varieties or aquatic organisms. However due to non-policing of Somali waters, many foreign vessels indiscriminately pollute by dumping hazardous waste in her waters. The number of incidents, which were identified as perpetrators include an Italian firm (Progresso) and Swiss firm (Achair Partners) even though there may be many other numerous unidentified cases. These cases were justified by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) as if the firms have supposedly entered into contracts with Somali government to dump in Somali waters. This is ethically questionable whether an indigene should negotiate a hazardous waste disposal contract within his country even in the midst of instability. This can be classified, as a misleading justification to divert the attention of the less publicized exploitation of the Somali crisis by the firms, which specialize in the disposal of hazardous waste. As a result of the UNEP's investigation, about the issue it became apparent to the UNEP's director Dr. Mustafa Tolba declared that the firms of Achair Partners and Progresso were set up specifically as fictitious companies by larger industrial firms to dispose of hazardous waste. And at that point Dr. Tolba referred that the UNEP was dealing with a mafia. Since there is no unified effective internationally recognized government, suing such matters are not intact. The companies are extremely well off to hide the truth at any cost. These are violations of international treaties in the export of hazardous waste to another country in particular like Somalia. Every month proportionately a number of indigenous people die or suffer from the effects of such dumping around coastal communities. For instance, at Eel-dher district of Gal-gadud region, in the center of Somalia in April 1992 put out dark blue long barrels in which oily-liquid was filled. When samples taken from them were investigated, it was identified that such were deadly nuclear waste. Similar incidents happened at Adale district in 1996. In 1998, mass mix fish species were washed away along the coastline from Mogadishu to Warsheekh which are 45 km apart and all these are consequences of the hazardous waste imports into Somali waters. All over the world, countries policies deal with these events however it is unfortunate that Somalia with the longest coastline over all Africa does not have a basic strategy to deal with these matters. Recommendation Fisheries rights within 200 nautical miles assigned to individual countries or shared between adjacent countries' rational management have been implicated. At least in Europe, US, Canada and most Asian countries, there are effective control unlike west Indian ocean and in particular Somali waters whereas jointly are harvested as it has been traditionally identified on of the world's richest fisheries ground. Somalia's natural resources are under considerable stress, political and economic preoccupations mean that there is no administrative machinery for sustainable management of these resources. The resources and its management continually baffle Somali fisheries professionals and the use of technological information methods in particular the application of satellite transponders and cameras to monitor the operations of the vessels in territorial waters is beyond imagination. It is hard to say that at the present, we have no management prescription for the problems and we can not keep quiet from such disheartening situations. Therefore, we are to alert internationally of the problem, which can confront in the Indian Ocean pointing that, the apparent serious environmental degradation, which perhaps irreversible in reality. In Somalia, individually and collectively, people are responding to their changing environment through development of appropriate mechanisms and legislation focusing on environmental protection and biodiversity, which are in turn linked to sustainable resource management. Let's conclude by pointing out the importance of fisheries management and rights to respect ownership of territorial waters. The challenges of the new millennium on fisheries and its environment do not pose threat to an individual country but for all and its solution would be for all. The main policy trust of professionals is to promote greater awareness among the people and make heard the problems being faced. At same point of view, it is directed towards understanding the responsibility and the obligations for protection of marine resources and environment under for respective jurisdictions.
