Saxardiid Posted October 7, 2003 This may not sound very big news but Somali people are realising their potential and the warlords are starting to lose some of their power. Don’t you think that? Read this article and tell me what you think. "Dignity through work" NAIROBI, 6 Oct 2003 (IRIN) - "Restoring dignity through work". This how the International Labour Organisation (ILO) describes a project underway in war-torn Somalia to give residents a feeling of worth and show that there are alternatives to the cycle of violence in which so many people become swept up. The ILO's Promotion of Economic Recovery Project in Somalia (PERPS) began in April 2002 in Hargeysa, capital of the self-declared republic of Somaliland, and has since spread to areas of Puntland and the ravaged capital Mogadishu. http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=37006&SelectRegion=Horn_of_Africa best wishes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
