Camel Mlik Posted August 26, 2005 Senior Somali cops train in Uganda - Thursday, August 25, 2005 at 19:05 Kampala, Uganda, 08/24 - A contingent of 65 senior police officers from Somalia has commenced a three-week training course in Uganda as the Horn of Africa nation embarks on institutional building after a protracted civil strife, media reports said here Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Katumba Wamala, Uganda police chief, said at the start of the training Tuesday that the exercise, which is funded by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), would help further cement ties between the two countries. "Uganda was honored to be picked among other countries to train Somali police officers," he said. Somali deputy internal affairs minister Fahma Ahmed praised President Yoweri Museveni for his efforts in helping to restore Somalia to normalcy. "We used to send our officers for training in the UK and United States, but now we shall train them in Africa," she said.

Camel Mlik Posted August 26, 2005 In the old government days We had two strange Officers One was trained in the US The other in the Ex-Soviet One supported capitalism The other loved Socialism In the philosophy of development They had different vision They had different outlook They pulled the nation apart In the present day of chaos We have two strange neighbors One belongs to this X-clan The other is from that Y-clan They share little in common They rarely talk each other They rarely help each other Their zone is laden with dirt No one bothers to clean it The water pipes are broken No one bothers to fix them They attend tribal meetings But never come together to meet Common property thus neglected Individualism is on the rise Devil is pulling them apart They speak of nationhood When they killed neighborhood A cart never comes before the horse Abdi-Noor Mohamed E-mail: nuuru2003@hotmail.com Mogadishu, Somalia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
