MAXIMUS POWERS Posted February 2, 2008 The current and regular portrayals of our country are the usual reworking of Eurocentric description, the ‘Horn’ full of marauding gunmen and gaunt children. So how can we pressure the media, and sadly the Diaspora, that this is quite truly bogus? Another challenge facing us is the need to create a student pressure group, which would give us immediate control over representing Somali affairs concerning the youth in Education, Family and Crime. Thus enabling us to assemble and construct a truly representative platform. Once more, this Student Union body aims to work as a regional and national umbrella group crossing over all Universities. The assembling of an active Somali Society group will address the needs and demands of an ever growing and vibrant community.
