" These things"...that's what come to for Somalis..how unfortunate Power struggles blamed for xeno attacks A recent study into last year’s xenophobic attacks indicates that the violence was organised and led by local groups and individuals. And they were carried out to consolidate the authority and power needed to further political and economic interests. The attacks were part of broad structural and historical factors which include the legacy of institutional discrimination and generalised mistrust among citizens, police and the elected leaders. The research was conducted by the Forced Migration Studies Programme at the University of Witwatersrand. Other factors identified for contributing to the violence which started in Gauteng in May 2008 are institutionalised practices that exclude foreigners from political participation and justice. “Often premised on limited knowledge of and respect for the country’s laws and policies, these practices continue to criminalise and villainise foreign nationals and other ‘outsiders’,” says the report. Researchers Jean Pierre Misago, Loren B Landau and Tamlyn Monson also identified a lack of trusted, prompt and effective conflict resolution mechanisms that led to vigilantism. The research found that political vacuums or competition in community leadership encouraged the emergence of unofficial, illegitimate and often violent local leadership. According to the study, these leaders enhanced their authority and power by reinforcing communities’ resentment towards what is perceived as “non-compliant” foreign nationals. It was found that there is also a culture of impunity with regard to public violence in general and xenophobic violence, in particular. “That encourages the ill-intentioned to attack non-nationals and other outsiders for personal and or political gain.” There was little evidence to support early explanations that blamed the eruption of the violence on a “third force”, poor border control, changes in national political leadership, or rising food and commodity prices. But these factors may have contributed to generalised tensions. Researchers could not explain why violence occurred in some places, not others. - By THANDUXOLO JIKA stories vidoes

The sad was people got fixated on the image-just the idea of vulture eating human being, but nobody asked how did kid find in him that situation. Who put him in that predicament?

More the world changes the more it stays same-these issues still relevant!! Couple weeks back, there's almost brawl in our class over this haunting image of vulture stalking a near death kid-the same image in video.

Oodweyne...Goth and the oldman presented no earth shattering argument that would dissuade anyone one way or the other that's unless you were already pro and anti secession. But I do understand your idea of retrospectively applying the colonial boundaries.That warrants serious research, and it's not as black and white as both sides of the camp would like to potray it. As for the case of Eritrea, it politically legitimized its existance by essentially reconstructing the reality in Ethiopia, and installing the essentail legal framework to facilitate partition, something Somaliland hasn't done and is not able to do.Cuz Eritrea laid the legal groundwork,Ethiopia sanctioned the partition, the AU had no choice, but to accept the verdict.And the UN charter allows the right self determination, and followed Ethiopia's suit. Of course, what made all this possible is Eritrea's divisive victory over Mengiste, and the military superiority over the Tigray. It is unlikely Hargeysa could subdue Mogadisho, and essentially changed the constitution of Somalia. Mintid....I'm Xamari through and through, but won't mind visiting Hargeysa, besides I can't live in a city without shoreline...nothing beats Xamar Cadeey

^My Korean professor should hook you up with her nephew whom she talk about constantly... Interesting people they are, she was showing us this movie , but cheesy, though interesting.
