General Duke Posted February 10, 2010 “We have to rise above our differences and combine our efforts to save our people” Mandela Insha Allah, the Somali civil war is coming to a close; it will end within the next few years as the grand folly in the south is finalized. This post is about looking towards the future and the important role the Diaspora has to play in rebuilding the ramshackle nation. The Duke, has a number plans in the works specifically dealing with capacity building, and small infrastructure in the Mudug/Nugaal regions of Puntland State. What role do you see yourself playing in coming years, in the new Somalia, and what ideas do you have with regards to kick starting the economy, creation of jobs, and healing the wounds of our long suffering people? Again lets be positive and share our ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juma-nne Posted February 10, 2010 If your prediction is real and genuine then all would fall in place. reading this post I rememeber the somali reference to one whotalks from both sides of their mouth. "Laba Aflayn" Secondly the famous somali saying . Guurku haidambeeye horta geediga magaadha? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted February 10, 2010 “In peace prepare for war, in war prepare for peace” Sun Tzu I am no sage, nor is my prediction a verdict of heaven. However the basic truth, that nothing is forever, and the dramatic shifts in the political environment in Somalia, these and other trends, make the Duke believe that the period of civil war will be over shortly. As a people we must plan for this eventuality, and not just hope and wait for it. Valuable time should not be wasted when the time comes. Also what is your contribution aside from making the Duke, the central theme of your response? Surely you can do better than that… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
