The Grand Compromise

[Khalaf]

Recommendations:

To avert the repeat of that terrible history and to prevent the degeneracy of political power into an oppressive machine in the hands of maniacs, we propose that instead of supporting one group against the wishes of the majority, the Somali society can be reconstituted on a new basis where all interest groups are represented in a new and innovative institutional arrangement.

 

To address the imbalance outlined above inherent in the existing TFG institutions, it is imperative to establish during the transitional period;

 

v A second chamber with constitutional powers to revise legislation ensuring the compatibility of new laws to Somali culture, religion as well as the international human rights standards before becoming law.

Members of the new house must be drawn entirely and exclusively from the civil society, such as the well known and widely respected scholars from various Islamic schools, traditional elders and prominent Somali personalities on regional basis rather than clan basis.

 

v Executive members can be appointed from either houses or outside, in order to open the door for the talents and expertise needed for rebuilding and reconciliation.

 

Such a new constitutional change has the advantage of conferring legitimacy required for the effectiveness of the new administration. And we should all work together to achieve this goal.

Add to those recommendations, somalia needs the help of the Arab League, and Muslim Nations to help like England is helping in Ireland shisssssh where are is their help? Its not in benefit of somalia and its ppl to have prolong welfare, somalia is neither Iraq or Afganistan, but to share power and move on.

 

A historic day in Ireland: “Look back, and we see centuries marked by conflict, hardship, even hatred among the people of these islands,” he said in a speech beside Mr. Paisley, Mr. McGuinness and Mr. Ahern. “Look forward, and we see the chance to shake off those heavy chains of history.” source
