It's an "F" for Farmaajo in Judicial Reform

[Deeq A.]

It's a widely known trouble that the trouble with Somalia is, first and foremost, a troubled justice system. This basic fact proved troublesome for past and present Somali leaders as it's the primary reason for their inability to muster the true yearning and trust of the Somali people. Such trust for leaders could be said to be present when the people of Somalia start to make an initiative to tell on the enemy in their midst. It's trouble beacuse no leader will ever earn the trust of the Somalis as long as the leaders don't seize the opportunity to make concrete steps in reforming, overhauling the justice system beyond their usual rumblings and rhetoric. For such steps to begin to earn trust of the public for the leaders, justice must start with the process itself, which must be and should be seen to be open, participatory, inclusive and transparent every step of the way.
