Smothering the hostilities

Recommended Posts

I think we should start twinning Somali cities and towns. Twinned cities will exchange gifts like poems in praise of each other and relief when one is facing hardship like drought or failled crops.

 

Twinning took off after the second world war when European cities started to pair with German cities and towns. The main main was to quench hostilities and to help those places struggling after being ravaged by the war.

 

It obviously helped the Europeans to some degree and I think it will work for Somalis if done properly. Places of similar sizes and economies will be paired. So port cities like Berbera will be paired with Bosaso paired with Djibouti. Similarly agricultural towns like Gabiley and Afgooye will be paired.

 

It should include cities/towns of all the three Somali nations and also Somali regions of Ethiopia and Kenya as maintaining connections with those isolated Somalis is vital.

 

What do you guys think? If u have ideas of your own also, pls feel free to share them.
