Global Publuc Goods, how about Somali Public Goods?

[Carafaat]

. Global public goods are aspects of development that reach across borders: Examples include the environment, public health, int security,food markets international trade and financial infrastructure. Actions are often needed that extend beyond what market systems or individual countries can do on their own

 

If you look at the Somali context what could be Public Goods that is shared, cant be managed by individual country?

 

-the sea and marine resources

-trade

-clan conflicts, clan relations and peace between clans and people's

-Somali language

-livestock and enviroment(deegaan)

- movement of people or migration

-religious movements

-culture

 

Can you think of other Publuc Goods in the Somali context?

 

Do you think we should find away to manage these public goods and what would be the best way or structure? Considering all the diffrent stakeholders andtheir diffrent status

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Sharing the Somali language there are still some big disputes concerning the language Carafaat we cannot share that unless i go to Somalia and teach the Koonfurians when to use the KH and the Q or when to use the R or the Dh these are big issues. See Most kids and youth in Somaliland now and days speak af Somalilandish. This will not be a minor issue knowing the little communication between Somaliland and Somalia the past two decades.

 

The movement of people and migration can be shared with few conditions though that's something we should encourage even though different countries but still the movement of people should be welcomed this will not cause any problems. On the other hand there are some major difficulties concerning the safety of people and the security of the different countries, and what type of agreement can be reached about that.

Xaaji, when you have things in common you make an arrangement to govern the shared, one facilitates the wishes of all sides.

 

And in the Somalio case the diffrent admins and goverment divers in character, nature and legal status.

 

Djibouti is a country consisting of 2 people's and not only Somali's.

 

Somaliland is not an int recongnized country nor does it have authority on all the land is claims.

 

Somali region of Ethiopia is federal state part of Ethiopia.

 

Puntland, Galmudug, Xuman Xeeb, Hiiraan, ASWJ, all maamuls that are differs in status and capacity, ets.

 

TFG, only control of Banadit region.

 

NE and NW Provinces of Kenya are in majority somali regions of Kenya. Will have its own regional governance in the future.

 

Even with the emergence of a future Somalia goverment will not have authority in all the Somali regions nor can govern the Somali Public Goods without regional other stakeholders.

 

Therefor I would suggest a non-Political Somali wide Guurti consisting of elders, with support or advice of acamdemics and specialist that Advice and strive for the good governance of Somali Public Goods. This Guurti could be appointed by local communities or by respective local, regional goverments or Goolo deegaans from all over the Horn of Africa.

Mintid,

 

I am curious what your perspective is on common issue's transcending borders. How to solve and govern them?

[Somalina]

What about Somali women? Xisbiga Haweenka Soomaaliyeed ka hadal odeyashaan naga daa.

[Carafaat]

I used Guurti as a symbolic name, to emphasize its not political, wise members, long term int focussed. Women shouldd absultely be included and not just for sheer dressing. But the real active actors.
