HEALING THE WOUNDS

[Coloow]

salaama Calaykum,

 

Our people have been subjected to suffering caused by several leaders, warlords and even individuals. There are some horrible wounds left on the hearts and minds of many somalis. The saying that "crime never pays" is a cliche because the same people who are responsible for the indirect/direct deaths and murders of hundreds of thousands of somalis are meeting in Nairobi to elect the warlord of the warlord.

 

 

I think there are two ways to heal the wounds:

 

1: Call for a tribunal that would prosecute those responsbile.

 

2: Hold a healing(reconciliation) conference like the one south africa had.

 

 

what do you think?

Caleykuma Salaam,

Entreprenuer, my hunch is before we get into healing wounds, we need to cease all the hostilities between the concerned parties. You see occupation of valuable real state in Mogadishu, Kismaio and the river valleys continues and far too little is being done about it. I say unless all these injustices are addressed and some sort of government emerges we won't be in a position to heal the wounds.

 

As to whether we want to put the war criminals on trail, well yes! but Do we have the institutional capacity to undertake such thorny issue?. The victims have no choice but to wait the day of judgement just as the man who chanted "Ahmadiyaanu nahay iyo ehel Islaameed, ... insha Allahu Aakhiro weysku arki doonaa" in a long poem, the legend has it, after he learned that Inna Abdulle Hassan issued an edict to kill him and other "Ahmadiya dariiqa".

 

Raad arooryo dib loomo raaco.

Baashi, I agree bro, I was listning to the news yesterday about a tribunal in Siera Leone indicting Charles Taylor, the president of Liberia on genocide.

 

So, I don't see why they can't establish a war tribunal in a neighbouring country instead of the so called peace conference which would end up nominating those who killed the most somalis!
