"Tribalism is backward" - Museveni

TRIBALISM, regionalism (Somaliland, Puntland) and other forms of sectarianism portray a backward pre-industrial society, the President has said.

 

Addressing a Somali civil society organisation meeting at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel in Entebbe on Wednesday, Museveni said:

“Sectarianism can never achieve political causes, as the vice is used by opportunists for selfish goals.”

 

According to a State House statement, Museveni said if tribalism or regionalism was a basis for unity, Somalis, who profess the same religion and speak the same language, would not have had the decade-long political crisis.

 

The President said the main challenge to Africa was underdevelopment. He told the delegates that development involved appreciation of each person’s goals and services.

 

Museveni expressed concern about the suffering the Somalis had gone through and said leaders should work to bring about lasting peace.

 

“All the people of Somalia should sit together and draw a roadmap for peace after the transitional period.”

He assured them of Uganda’s support. “Uganda does not regard its African brothers as refugees.”

 

The chairperson of the Somali civil society organisations, Jabril Ibrah, thanked Uganda for contributing to a peace-keeping force in the war-torn country.

 

“We have a long way to ensure that peace returns to Somalia but this first ever national meeting will help us foster this goal.”

 

The three day meeting that started on Monday sought to unite Somalis to build consensus on how to contribute to the peace-making process in Somalia.

Geeljire, you are truly Geeljire. Majority of Somalis support the African Union troops including Ethiopia and the whole world recognizes it.

 

Somalidiidka SOL waa wada munaafiqiin lol. Xataa Hadii ay Somalia ka hadlayan waxaa ay u haystaan in Hargeeisa iyo Burco aysan Somalia aheen. Cajiib.

You're being in a state of denial as usual.

I suppose Musefeeni and General Qabri Killa know better, eh? Majority of SOmalis, ya? You counted them all? Or the legitimate government carried out a census by counting how many camels every Somali clan has?

Wax la soc socdaba maantana Xabashadii dalka qabsatay lagu daray ciidamada Midowga Afrika.

 

Goormee Xabashada's occupying army noqotay part of Midowga Afrika's contingent?

 

And what 'whole world'? Iskaba dhaafee 'whole world,' what was the UN's resolution regarding the Afrikan Union's deployment to Soomaaliya? Soo ma ahayn Xabashada kuwii specific ahaan laga reebay, along with Keenya?

^Where is the headquarter of the African Union.

 

The second U.N. resolution which permitted the lifting of the Arms embargo in Somalia overrides the first one.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Aniga meesha xarunta Midowga Afrika ku taalo maku weydiin, xaaji. Ciidanka Midowga Afrika aad Xabashada ku dartay aan ku weydiiye iyo meeshaa ka keensatay.

 

Even officials within dowlad ku sheega ma dhahaan saas. Sanaawi iyo wixii u shaqeeyana ma dhahaan saas.

You forgot that Museweni is the leader of a nation in which a religous militia( Lord's Resistance Army) mutilated thousands of children all because their leader was inspired by the "lawd". What they did has never ever occure din the backward country called Somalia! Even worser: those L.R.A militias have bene sent to Muqdisho to take in the onslaught! Clearly this man is no place to lecture Somalis.
