Carafaat Posted February 21, 2012 Back at the end of 80's the mighty power of the Sovyetunion started to decay and slowly crumbl. Its leader newly elected leader Gorbatsjov sensed the turning of time very well and started back in 1988 the historic and revolutainary process of glasnost(openess) and perestrojka(social, cultural and economic reform) to guide and facilitate the reform and landing of the Sovyetunion. In a matter of less then 2 years the Sovyetunion completely transformed from the Communustic Empire to the current dozens of Republic's without war, bloodshed and suffering. In 1989 the iron wall fell and lead to free and demodratic Eastern Europen countries. From 1991 the world witnessed the birth of dozens of new Republics. It was the birth of current Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kaukus States of Georgie, Kazachstan, Kirgizie, Azerbaijan, Oezbekistan, Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithunia. Today, we Somali's seem to be witnessing the turning of time as well. We are at the start of a historic process. Not knowing were it will lead to but one can sense that feeling of change, that time is turning and the tingeling feeling that we are witness of something that we can't seem to fully desribe nor comprehend. Gorbasjov described his turning of time with 'glasnost' and ' perestrojkak'. How would you desribe these times and the current wind of change going on within Somali's?

Mintid Farayar Posted February 21, 2012 Carafaat, You're out of touch with the Conference's objectives. The Somalis (all of them) are just window dressing. The Conference is for outside stake-holders to come to a unified plan/compromise on how to deal with the Somali situation (piracy, terrorism, endemic famines, etc.,). Somalis will be allowed to give 2 to 3 speeches(maybe, if the British are generous) and then handed a pre-agreed resolution to sign or follow. We'll see how it turns out in a few days...

Carafaat Posted February 21, 2012 Mintid maangaab, who is talking about the Conference. I am talking about that we have entered a turning point in history. Even you can sense that time is changing, as you have put away your sword lately and are awaiting the new chapter to begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm always amused by the amount of rancor I bring out in certain quarters It's not my fault your project is full of so many holes - always looking for a 'messiah' or 'messiahs' to bring back the 'glorious Somaliweyn' project. Adkeyso, xaaji. Adkeyso... As for a sword, no need for one... Somaliland is vigilantly protected by those on the ground and can't be hurt by ruminations around 'socialist campfires' or by 'Somaliweyn enthusiasts going through identity crisis on which Somali community they belong to' ...
