Obama is the Change but is he for Somalia?
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance
|
Unlike his predecessor, President-elect Barack Obama has made it clear that his foreign policy will not be shaped by the “politics of fear,” but by “hope and change.” That, we recognize, is easily said than done. But we also understand that some words are, at times, mightier than the sword.
Take Somalia, for example. On his Website, Obama states that his Administration will develop “a coherent strategy for stabilizing Somalia,” a succinct statement that broadly addresses the incoherent tactics employed by the Bush Administration, often to destabilize Somalia.
Gone, is the “War on Terror” mantra that defined the Bush Administration’s policy toward Somalia. In, is a deliberated and nuanced view of the intricacies of the Somali conflict.
That’s crucial. Without compromising the national security of the United States, the Obama Administration can deploy of the “tough diplomacy” that he often promised during the campaign, to help bring about change in Somalia.
To that end, We offer the following advice for the President-Elect:
-Ask your Africa Team to thoroughly understand the nature of the conflict in Somalia in an encompassing fashion, without isolating a particular group or faction, for that tends to haunt back.
-Immediately end the Ethiopian occupation. This will send a powerful signal to the Somalis, long humiliated by this aggression. It will also undercut the extremists’ sole argument.
-Launch a massive humanitarian effort to rehabilitate the millions of civilians affected by the conflict in and around Mogadishu.
-Declare your support for bringing human rights violators to justice.
-Recognize the role of religious leaders and traditional elders, among others, in the societal stratum of Somalia.
-In your “coherent strategy,” help devise a mechanism for national reconciliation, whilst de-incentivizing the warlord enterprise.
Amid the current financial turmoil, and the inherent nature of unimportance of Somalia for the United States, it maybe tempting to revert back to the old “Containment Policy.”
But we believe that the United States has a moral responsibility to help end Somalia’s saga, in part because the U.S. ignited the most recent conflict when it supported the notorious Mogadishu warlords.
And also in part because the mere election of Barack Obama, a man whose roots hail from nearby Kenya, was largely celebrated in the hopes that he remotely understands the region better, relative to other presidents.
Leaving Somalia to the current status quo may, in the long run, leave the U.S. with limited policy options.
We believe it’s time to act.

WORLD ASSEMBLY OF YOUTH
STATEMENT ON WORLD AIDS DAY
1 DECEMBER 2008
Today is World AIDS Day - an occasion to commemorate the challenges posed by a pandemic that has had a devastating effect on mankind, in particular the youth. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the World Aids Day, with the theme “Lead- Empower - Deliverâ€. This theme provides an opportunity to highlight both political leadership and celebrate leadership that has been witnessed at all levels of society.
More than half of the 60 million people who have been infected by HIV in the past 20 years have been young people aged between 15 and 24. Twelve million young people are today living with HIV/AIDS, and 6,000 more infected every day: that is 250 infected every hour.
On this revered occasion, we would like to call upon all stakeholders, partners, governments and youth organisations to raise awareness and focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic.
Take Action
There are many ways you can take action in response to HIV/AIDS:
• get tested for HIV
• practice safe methods to prevent HIV
• decide not to engage in high risk behaviors
• talk about HIV prevention with family, friends, and colleagues
• provide support to people living with HIV/AIDS
• get involved with or host an event for World AIDS Day in your community
Youth and Policy
• National Youth Councils (NYCs) need to be involved throughout the development process of any policy affecting youth and HIV/AIDS
• Create an enabling environment for appropriate laws and polices by promoting policy dialogue for HIV/STI prevention and care at all levels to mobilize resources, ensure ownership and sustainability, and promote a rights-based approach
• Foster the participation of all youth in HIV/AIDS policy development and programmes, including those with disabilities and people living with HIV/AIDS
• Work closely with a single-coordinating National AIDS Council and promote the decentralization of AIDS councils down to the local levels
• NYCs need to be autonomous to prevent overly strong influence from their ministries to enhance their prominence at regional and international levels
• Establish Youth Parliaments in countries where they do not exists to create a platform of consultation among lawmakers and youth
Knowledge Sharing
• Adopt culture of information- sharing and cross-fertilization of good practices between countries at all levels
• Networking between regional NYCs should be systemized
• Networking with community associations and institutions playing critical roles in defining social norms
• Take initiative to train ourselves as youth leaders to understand and enhance the role of young people in moving youth platform forward
• Promote and package awareness and advocacy initiatives that build on the positive socio-cultural values and norms in communities to address the adolescent/youth SRH needs and concerns
Let us rise to meet the HIV/AIDS Challenge!
ENDS.

Somaliland: Where is the outrage?
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance
|
After the recent targets in Somaliland by the extremist (Car Blasts), this question of Somaliland recognition kept popping in my head. What makes the international community silent about it?
On May 18th, 2008, Somaliland Republic (former British Somaliland) celebrates 17 years of self-rule and thriving democracy since it has decided to re-instate its sovereign independence from Somalia after the fall of Siad Barre regime in 1991. As a Somalilander myself who run away from Siad Barre's atrocities as a young man in the late 1980s and settled in the United States, I have a mixed feeling as I see my people celebrating the 17th anniversary of Somaliland's birth. On one hand, I am extremely proud of the people of Somaliland, and its leaders for what they were able to achieve for the past 17 years. On the other hand, I am less excited, and amazed by lack of African Union's role in leading the way to promote the Somaliland's cause by sending a strong signal to other African countries that they do care and reward for peace, stability, and democracy (acknowledging people's choice). It is very clear why European Union is very serious about the status of Kosovo. Answer: EU is planning to avoid risk of war and violence that would again destabilize the Balkans region. The million dollar question is why the African Union is not far sighted to avoid a potential and imminent war between Somalia's Southern Leaders, and Somaliland that will undermine the stability of the whole region?
Somali's Southern Leaders are not known to respect the rule of law and the wishes of its citizens, it is the main reason that Somaliland people are fully determined to fight for its sovereign status following its roots of independence time from Great Britain on June 26th, 1960. Thirty one countries that are members of the United Nations recognized Somaliland as an independent state before uniting with the Italian Somaliland on July 1st, 1960 to form what was known as Somali Republic. Somaliland is only seeking recognition within the borders received at that moment. Somaliland, not officially recognized by any state, has been functioning as constitutional democracy with a President directly elected by the people, added by a parliament and local government also directly elected by the people. Somaliland did not even have a university for 31 years of union with the southern Somalia, and today they have four universities despite its lack of recognition. They have four private owned telephone and mobile operators where they did not have any in the past 31 years of union with the South. And the list goes on.
Some people do not truly understand why people of Somaliland decided to go alone, and broke its partnership with the South. Some of the people even speculate that the issue of Somaliland is tied with the stability of the Southern Somalia, and the union will be back when the rest of the South becomes stable. As a matter of fact, there are many reasons why Somaliland re-took its independence, and broke its partnership, but in my personal view, I would only focus on two important reasons:
1.British Somaliland has voluntarily entered a union with Italian Somaliland in pursuit of irredentist dream of "Greater Somalia" (including parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti). It was very clear to everybody in both regions that it was never intended to stop with the union of the two regions, but to pursue the other 3 remaining regions. Therefore, that dream has effectively died when Djibouti got its independence in 1977, and decided to go alone without joining the existing union. If Djibouti people had that freedom to make that choice, it is only fair that the people of Somaliland can make similar choices to decide on their faith. The main argument here is that the Somali union in 1960 did not achieve the reason it has been formed which was a greater Somalia, and Somaliland's voluntary union at that time was based on that. And if that dream did not materialize, Somaliland could go alone like the other regions did where Somalis live including Djibouti, Kenya, and Ethiopia.
2.Another very crucial point that made the people of Somaliland go on separate ways from the South is the suffering and injustices that the people of Somaliland endured for 31 years of marriage. They have suffered at the hands of Southern rule governments particularly during Siad Barre's 21-year rule. The whole world knows that those governments even bombarded Somaliland cities. Therefore, it is a trust issue. If you had a business partnership with another person and you have suffered and lost everything, and you re-start your business. Would you again trust to create another partnership with that person? It is fair to say that the people of Somaliland have a trust issue with their brothers in the South, and will not join them again with union despite a lack of recognition by the International community. Most Somalilanders, who only know Somaliland because they were either young or born after Somaliland re-took its independence in 1991, would tell you that if there was such a Southern domination in the past, it is certainly a history, only refers the unity in the past tense.
It is important to note that AU sent a fact finding mission to Somaliland in 2005 in order to respond to the concern that Somaliland recognition would create a fragmentation of Somalia, or other AU member states, the African Union fact finding mission in 2005 concluded "the case should not be linked to the notion of "opening a Pandora box", and the report recommended that AU "should find a special method of dealing with this outstanding case" as soon as possible. Unfortunately, AU actions stopped there. Why we Africans can not decide for ourselves, while Europeans are doing so and EU leading the way. I hope I can one day be proud of our African leaders through the African Union leadership when I see that they are taking a far sighted approach like the EU doing on Kosovo.
The more the African Union delays dealing with the Somaliland case, the more it makes the situation in East Africa difficult, and risk of war, and even equally important the more the AU credibility is on the line. Somaliland case is a time bomb for the African Union and the International community could not really afford to ignore. On the other hand, Somaliland's multi-party democracy system is rarity in Africa, and the Muslim World, and the African Union needs to seriously consider Somaliland's formal application of AU membership to reward for people's choice. Somaliland is a state where the power truly belongs to the people.
But I still ask myself- where is the International Community outrage?

Yesterday, it was a beautiful evening, warm and soft and very still. I watched a dance troupe of moths pirouette outside on my house window screen, attracted to the light from my desk lamp inside for I have switched all the lights off, and had not pulled the curtains. The variety and sizes of these supposedly nighttime dancers were quite amazing - some so tiny they seemed almost like a speck of dust, others as long and broad as my hand, others with shiny red eyes, still others with antennae three or four times longer than their bodies. I watched them with fascination as my lamp illuminated their bodies against the black space beyond. Round and round they went, all attracted to and mesmerized by something bright and beautiful that will always be just out of their reach. Why were they struggling so much to get in? I asked myself. Suppose I did let them in, what whould have happened. sadly, I shall never know for I never did so.
So, today morning, I looked out through the same window. Across the street, my neighbours help was knocking the gate. She wanted to enter into the compoud, I thought. Its a conclusion that I made from her acts. Why did she want to get into the compoud?
About twenty metres or so, the night guard was washing his face from an old flower vase, I guessed after a long nights job. Why was he at it?
Thats when I got the answer. Thats when I knew why the moths were trying to get in. Thats why I knew why the househelp wanted to enter the compoud. Its because it was time. It was their time. Their time was then...which is basically they felt their time was NOW!
My dear friends I also thought. Many of us are in one way or another doing something at that moment. It was out time to do what we were doing. We should all have felt that OUR TIME IS THEM...which was...NOW!!
Our lives are not as straight as they should be. Life is a batch of moments. We have happy times and a couple of sad times thrown in. There are dizzy spells or side effects from the medicines we take, ran ins with friends we meet, bosses kicking our asses, matatu drivers messing us up, but friends, lets not wait for tomorrow to complain. Our time is NOW. We have to start feeling positive and sure that everything will be fine. Lets start believing strongly in ourselves. Lets not abandon our friends or even try to be anti social, lets make this our time. The shortcomings we face just underline what things are really important in this short stretch of life we're given. Invite them for a drink...(no one takes coffee anymore..or so Kinyua thinks)
Never feel isolated. Never indulge in self pity, never feel as though the universe keeps plotting aganist you. There are potential solutions for this. Look at yourself in that office mirror...or the one in your bag...or the one at the dressing room. Never again ask what bright creative you needs to do to get a solution. Be yourself. Make the moment you are in yours. Control your life. Do it NOW, not tomorrow. Do not let your friends do it for you.
Tell your friends/neighbours little things that would make them smile – what the’d eaten for supper, what was the most interesting site they observed that day, what interested then most in the days news. Its your time to make them happy, and not vice versa.
If its night, just go out, look into the sky and the millions of stars - make a wish on each one, a simple wish that all your friends are well.. In making these wishes, let your hands reach up to heaven to try to touch a star or two, to move them to grant your wish - in trying to touch heaven and the stars, however, you shall feel as though you want to reach and tough all your friends. Do try and do it tomorrow. No. Do it NOW. This is your NOW!
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life — learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Do that some NOW.
Flush all bad dreams and ideas down the cess pit. Forget about the sad bad things that have happened to you over the period. Look and touch yourself. You can feel it. You are alive and well. Start a fresh live NOW. This is your time. Your time is NOW.
From NOW, let people not only interest you. Forgive all those that have wronged you. Be friendly and close to them. Respect them the way they will respect you. Let your soft touch weaken them. Let your goodness enamor them. Let your virtues captivate them. Let your trust engross them. Upon securing their trust, your mind and soul will finally find peace and contentment. The time to do it is not tomorrow. Its not this evening. Its NOW. This is your NOW!
Finish all the outstanding business NOW, and not tomorrow.....and am off...to finish my book...Unfinished Works of Samira Hassan....NOW!

Time to listen to the Afghans...
|
I found this new, and I believe it is very interesting for understading the current issues happening in Afghanistan. Let's hear the other side of the "story"...
Afghanistan on the edge
 | | Adaptability is plentiful, as this family in Herat Province demonstrates. But after seven years of occupation, where is Afghanistan heading? Fardin Waezi / AINA PHOTO AGENCY / AFGHANISTAN www.ainaphoto.org |
Living on the edge is nothing new to Afghanistan. The country and its people are familiar with extremes of most kinds – geographic, political, religious. But today they are well and truly on the brink. During 2008 the conflict in Afghanistan has escalated dramatically, claiming some 3,000 lives, almost half of them civilians. This is worse than at any time since the US-led invasion seven years ago. The monthly death toll of international servicemen and -women in Afghanistan has topped that of Iraq. The Afghan police force has lost no fewer than 700 personnel this year, while the targeting of aid agencies by militants has led to a doubling of charity workers killed. The Taliban is resurgent; its fighters determined to get foreigners off Afghan soil, to topple the Western-backed Government of Hamid Karzai and to impose sharia law. ‘No negotiations with invaders’ is their line – reiterated recently as US and British military top brass were saying: ‘We need to talk to the Taliban.’ The fundamentalists aren’t behaving quite as before, however. As well as engaging in conventional fire-fights with international and Afghan troops, they are also planting IEDs – improvised explosive devices – by roadsides. And they have resorted to a tactic that was previously taboo in Afghanistan – suicide bombing. It’s beginning to look and sound like… Iraq. But Afghanistan isn’t Iraq. This, remember, was meant to be the ‘good’ invasion; or at least the ‘not so bad’ one. It had the tacit support of most of the country’s people. After all, it was Afghans who did most of the fighting to oust the hated Taliban.  | | Increasingly insurgents are using Iraq-style tactics such as suicide and roadside bombings. Fardin Waezi / AINA PHOTO AGENCY / AFGHANISTAN www.ainaphoto.org | So what’s gone so badly wrong? The Afghan Government has been quick to blame its neighbour Pakistan. Since its defeat in 2001 the Afghan Taliban has been able to launch sporadic attacks from safe havens in the tribal areas across the border in Pakistan. Under the watch of former President Pervez Musharraf, Taliban militants enjoyed the support of their Pakistani equivalents and, it is said, Pakistan’s Interservices Intelligence (ISI). But militant and meddling neighbours are not the sole reason for Afghanistan’s woes, as the contributors to this magazine show. The fact that the despised Taliban are regaining a measure of popular support, to the extent that in some regions they are operating parallel administrations, is indicative. It tells us what Afghans think about the performance of their own Government and of the US and NATO occupation forces. At the time of writing, a bloody battle is raging across the border in Pakistan’s tribal area of Banjaur. Pakistan’s new President Asif Ali Zardari has launched an offensive against Taliban militants in one of their strongholds. For the moment, the Pakistani army has the support of local tribal groups who also want to see the back of the Taliban. However, their greater hatred is reserved for the US forces which have been conducting ground and air attacks against militants in their area, killing and displacing many civilians in the process. The situation is delicate and explosive. Al-Qaeda and the various groups associated with them are clearly dangerous. But so is the US, whether by design or blunder. A new US Administration takes charge of the White House this month. Will it do any better? The arrogance of power, displayed so nakedly during the Bush years, led to the deaths of thousands as the advice of regional experts was repeatedly ignored in favour of simplistic, vote-winning, sound-bite solutions. If the new US Administration is deaf to the voices of those it carelessly tramples underfoot or sweeps to one side in the ‘war on terror’ then hatred of the US and its allies will only grow. So far, American and British politicians have responded to the escalating conflict in Afghanistan by proposing that more international troops be sent to the region. But what do Afghans want? Is anyone asking? Defence journalist Khabaryal (see page 6) has a rather different view on what a foreign troop ‘surge’ would achieve in his country – and his analysis is shared by many Afghans and Afghanistan experts. While the ‘surge’ that journalist Horia Mosadiq wants to see in her country is one of democracy, justice and accountability (see page 16). In a world of instant-access global news it’s easy to imagine we know exactly what’s happening in distant parts. We may, for example, interpret images of girls in school and women presenters on Afghan TV as indicators of liberation. But it takes an Afghan writer, Zuhra Bahman, to unpick the far more complex and intriguing daily lives of her compatriots, and enable us actually to understand what life is like for women in Afghanistan today (see page 11). The contributors to this magazine – who are all Afghans – are outspoken and critical. But they are also practical and ready to suggest alternative ways forward. Their frustration is palpable at times, but they have not given up hope. ‘All is not yet lost,’ as Abdul Basir, writing about the scandal of official aid to Afghanistan, says. But it might be if we don’t pay attention. History has taught us that the capacity of outsiders to mess up in Afghanistan is formidable – not for nothing has the region been dubbed ‘the graveyard of empires’. And if we can’t even listen to the voices of the country’s thoughtful journalists and commentators, disaster is more-or-less guaranteed.

My very 1st day
Related to country: Somalia
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance

Today is my first day to post anything on blog....although I created my blog a month ago but I was taken by car blasts in my office compound. It all happened suddenly and I don't know what the reason behind it is. The so-called insurgencies that call themselves Al-Shabab claimed the act.
Heavens what is going on here.....why is that happening with Somalis? For over 20yrs we were lawless with no direction at all and it never gets enough...now some sick people calling themselves Islamic movements are in the picture and they are killing their own people!!! Hey, as I said it never gets enough, now we have sea pirates and they are hijacking ships like no tomorrow at all. What really kills me is that no one is doing anything; they are just there watching how lousy and horrible the country is getting every passing day. Now we have Al-Qaeda cells hiding under all these chaos and using fake name like Islamic Courts Union and Al-Shabab. American sent the Ethiopian troops to backup the Transitional Federal Government and till today it is getting worse then any improvement.
I am from Somaliland (North West Somalia) where the Southern part of Somalia was in chaos, Somaliland was enjoying peace and stability. Our economy is weak but we were surviving well, we have our currency, government structure and Military forces that made lots of other Somalis jealous and envious to blast us with three different planned car blasts and it been claimed by Al-Shabab insurgencies. Is it fair??? We will never find out.
Today while I was taking the bus to the office I was hearing the BBC breaking news/latest news on Somalia pirates, the Al-Shabab insurgencies is upset because the pirates hijacked an oil ship belongs to Saudi Arabia; they were upset enough by saying it is no where in the Islamic religions that tell us to hijack or take what other Muslim brothers own!!! DAH!!! And where was the Islamic religion when killing innocent people and by the way MUSLIM too!!! Gosh, are they for real; they are so much confused that they don't know the right from the wrong, where is it in Islam religion that encourage killings of innocent people Muslim or non-Muslim!!!
I just ask everyone that we pray hard for them to get WELL and SANE!!

OBAMA'S FASHION in Kenya!
|
Barack Obama's new fashion has arrived in the whole world.The BBC news reported this morning that more than half of the babies born in a Kisumu Hospital on the day after the election were named either Barack or Michelle Obama. Apparently Kisumu is close to the village where Mr Obama's father was born and raised and Mr Obama is a local hero. The region erupted in celebration after he won the race for the White House. Out of 15 babies born in the New Nyanza Provincial Hospital in the western city of Kisumu on Wednesday, five boys were named Barack Obama and three girls were called Michelle. Pamela Adhiambo, who gave birth to twins – a boy and a girl - on the night after the elections, named them Barack and Michelle Obama. "I made up my mind to name them long before the elections, and even if Obama had not won, I would still have done the same," she said.
Hopefully, the names will inspire them to become great human beings willing making a change in their communities for the best. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in my country, Mexico, too.
