Ibtisam Posted January 24, 2008 2- greater international involvement in peacekeeping operations How about less interference and externally lead peace process, this has obviously failed in the last 17yrs, perhaps it is time to try the old traditional Somali way.

Baashi Posted January 24, 2008 Addressing the deep seated clan grievance is the key to all other problems. To do that folks have to convene genuine and all inclusive reconcilliation process. They need to understand that the dirrin approach is not an event. It is a process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Centurion Posted January 24, 2008 Addressing the deep seated clan grievance is the key to all other problems. To do that folks have to convene genuine and all inclusive reconcilliation process. They need to understand that the dirrin approach is not an event. It is a process. I think we can safely say that the overwhelming majority of Somalis know(or will if we see another decade of hopeless turmoil) that a transparent and genuinely inclusive process is required. The real problem is finding the right people to initiate and deliver this process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Armchair Politician Posted January 24, 2008 Somalia does not need even more foreign soldiers on its soil, and reconciliation is not just a word, it is a requirement that requires sacrifices to be made. Stability, peace and safety all depend on reconciliation but it cannot just happen on its own. You can't bring together leaders and just wait for reconciliation to happen. Making peace is not the same as making cheese. Reconciliation means those in power and wealth giving up much of that power and wealth to their enemies, even those who wronged them terribly in the past or hold views that the USA or Ethiopia or the African Union condemn and demand to be crushed. As long as the powers that be refuse this, no amount of reconciliation conferences will ever be successful, and Somalia will be plagued with fighting until the end of time.

xiinfaniin Posted January 24, 2008 ^^Fadhi-ku-dirir, what are you trying to say brother? Reconciliation is the key to solving the Somali tragedy. No one said it’s easy. No one said it could be achieved on the cheap. In fact it’s going to be a very difficult process, and it will require sacrifices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabriye amp co. Posted January 24, 2008 Well flooding Somalia with peace keepers when there clearly aren't much peace to keep but a war Zone to pick and chose sides in isn't going to help at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baashi Posted January 25, 2008 Originally posted by -: Everyone here speaks of reconciliation. Who's to be roconciled anyway. No kidding! I’m sure you are aware of the existence of the ragging conflict in Somalia. That much is given I guess. What is not clear to me is if you can really list the names of the warring factions. I know it is stretch but if you would can you say why or even, generally speaking, what are the root causes of the conflict Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. It won't. Getting rid off of the war itself and the sides it necessitates would be a good start. No? Amazing how folks confuse issues ha!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
