LETS GIVE A CHANCE TO PEACE
Comments: First of all, I would like to congratulate the new PM of Somalia, Mr. Ali Q. Galaydh. Second, I would like to congratulate all the hard working people that made possible for us to have parliament, President, PM and soon the completion of the process. Of course, we thank God that gave us life and the opportunity to be part of rebuilding Somalia. I hope we can look forward and put aside our hard feelings towards each other and take fresh look at future of Somalia as a whole. There is going to be many roadblocks ahead of us. The question is “Can we over come the expected and the unexpected road-blocks? We can if we honestly put the interest of rebuilding Somalia in front of our own one. That objective is the ONLY objective, which will unite us and put us out of our current sad stage and misery. All we ask is the different competing groups to work together even though some times some of us will get the urge to just walk away and have nothing to do with the rebuilding of Somalia. I have been there but the consequences are much worse than trying to make a few compromises. Do not let a few bad Somalis discourage you by saying, “Why are you supporting the new government when your uncle or brother or cousin, etc did not get any position”. There are only 25 ministers, 1 Pres, 1 PM and 2 Vice PM position therefore it is not logical every one to become a minister or “Karani”. PLEASE, LETS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. If the President screws up, we will deal case by case and we will take back our support if it warrants. But for now, please lets put our differences aside and work hard in rebuilding Somalia. Thanks for reading. |
