"Comment written on 23 Feb. on London Conference"

I hope the U.K office for Somalia will circulate all the documents of this conference to all Somalis.Including websites in English and Somali.Almost for 20 years even U.N resolutions IGAD, African Union are not circulated widely to the wider SOMALI CITIZENS.Just for an example nobody knows what is in the now Notorious "Road map" for Somalia by Amb.Mahiga and Somali TFG.This time the Somali people needs transparency and accountability if the world is really serious about Somali affairs. Secondly without the wider participation of the Somali-citizens- public in determining their destiny no conference will bring any Solutions. SOMALIS must be on the forefront in finding solutions and even analyzing problems.This hegemony from other countries specially Africans and others in telling the Somalis what to do and how to solve their problems must end. In few words Somalis must be empowered to make, chart their own destiny.This "puppet leaders' imposed over Somalis by the Ethiopians, IGAD States and African Union,the sub-division of Somalia in Clan-enclaves which is not real on the ground must end. The world must assist Somalis to re-discover, re-make their nation-State,Institutions in a Federal administered government .Where every Somalis have the right to reside where he likes,do business and contribute in the development of Somali Society.The fight against terror can be won when the Somalis are participating and are willing to do it. No foreign power which does not speak Somali or its " puppet- soldiers-leaders" can fight against Al-Shabaab-Al-Qaida with out the participation and ownership of the fight by the Somali- Clan communities-citizens. I hope with the London conference a new era is started for the Somali Nation and people-citizens.Wait and see.
