Carafaat Posted June 22, 2013 The Government needs to build a war memorial (monument) to commemorate all those civilians who died in Xamar after 1991. Such a memorial will support in the reconciliation efforts, will serve as focal points that the war has come to an end and this will help in the increasing understanding between Somalis.

Somalia Posted June 22, 2013 Leave it to beesha khaldan to make wrong decisions. Why should people have a monument reminding them of the dark hours of HAG destruction of our nation? We want to move on Carafaat, we want peace of mind. :eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tillamook Posted June 22, 2013 I agree. The whole city of Xamar should be turned into a giant war memorial illustrating the internecine strife within the HAG community during the last 2 decades and which continues to this day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonLight1 Posted June 22, 2013 Such a memorial can help people to come to a closure, so one can truly move on. Why don't they eat cakes.;) you are suggesting a city without the very basic infrastructure to spend millions on concrete status, what a joke. reconciliation is a state of mind thing not concrete.

If these steps are followed then I am sure we will have a harmonious nation. if not I can garantee you even if you build Liberty status and the ifiel tower it will do nothing. Magaratay inaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
