President Of UN trustee territory of Somalia Nicolas Kay resigns

Recommended Posts

I read from a UN source I read the other day that about 6 months ago Nicolas Kay requested that he be transfered from his mission in Somalia because it was taking a heavy toll on his health and that he was finding it extremely difficult to see how 2016 objectives could be achieved.

 

Now one has to wonder if the gal sent by the UN to administer this failed state find's it difficult then you know it's serious.

 

Nicolas Kay in reality gave up. He looked long and hard into the Somalian physcy and he said forget this, life is too short. In the world of diplomacy what diplomat would not be diplomatic. I.e. his saving face by trying to give false hopes. The reality is the man has given up and it shows on his face and speech. I say first solution to solve the Somalia problem test the water for some form of severe contamination because these people ain't normal.

He might be frustrated , yet, he acknowledges the resilience of the people. There was a guy from London, England who opened a restaurant and bar called Village in Mogadishu. Al-shabab militants targeted him and bombed his restaurant twice. Every time he opened again and kept going.

 

Same goes with Aljezeera Hotel. They bombed that hotel few days after Hassan Sheekh inaugurated for President. Few months ago not only the bombed, they attacked with gun men. The owner rebuilt the Hotel and kept going. CiidanSuldaan, that is resilience and toughness of the Somalis in Mogadishu that can not be ignored.

Your example focuses on men who have come from abroad. What about the average man and women in mugdisho who is an internally displaced person. The fact is most people in mugdisho today have come from the surrounding areas and are nomadic. The original inhabitants have mostly fled. Even the people in mugdisho today have fled so many times in the past decade they probably lost count.

 

Nicolas kay doesn't care about resilience. He doesn't care about Somalia. The truth is he is a career diplomat whose objective was to build a name for himself by attempting to solve the problem of Somalia . When he relized it was unsolvable because of the nature of the inhabitants he asked to be transfered.

 

In the political sense resliance is measured in the collective hardwork of people's, communities or nations not individuals. What has the collective population of mugdisho or even Somalia for that matter done that has created or even helped them create stability? Law and order? Justice? Anything.

 

1 thing ????
