Tuesday,
August 05, 2008 - Thank
you for your time and effort, trying to push Somalia
up the
ladder and helping that disappearing country to
stand on it’s own again.
Unfortunately
many Somalis, Including some senior Politicians,
are still incapable to understand that,
and become a hindering obstructive. Whatsoever,
we will eternally remember that and remain so
grateful.
As it only depends on a written law or
agreement, Right or Wrong is totally different
than Good or Bad, which is always a relative
decision, that mostly depend on interest based
personal point of view.
Since the day it was established in August of
2004, the transitional Parliament Of Somalia was
the major obstacle that prevented
Somalia
to move forward. Instead of becoming a good
example to the public, increasing their
capabilities, striving hard to reach out
the entire community and convince them to
contribute in rebuilding their evaporating
country, they are constantly and continuously
busy for themselves, solving their everlasting
internal problems. Fighting in march of 2005,
while still on exile in Nairobi, Kenya, beating
with their traditional canes and donated
portable seats, almost a year after, it was on
February 2006, when they first came back
together and have their first meeting in Baidoa
of Somalia, and shortly again, many left away
including the house speaker.
Always dividing into two or more groups,
dismissing an existing government and competing
to become a minister in the coming cabinet, it
is the United Nations and other donor countries
that pay them for just playing around.
Now, we are in the middle of a new
reconciliation process, that can really change
the current shape of
Somalia
to a much better one. Immediately they created
an unnecessary conflict, based on minor
financial accountability, that can be postponed
to any other time. (The budget of a non-existing
nation! That really sounds nonsense.)
Knowing that you are aware of all these, I am
just reminding you what kind of people you are
feeding in that small town of
Baidoa
.
Staying
there for living, they never thought beyond
themselves, and without your help they will
never get paid, and will become unemployed.
Please,
use all your financial and political power to
stop the rubbishy government accountability
debate inside the parliament, that can simply
cause the second government dismissal in less
than nine months, which really seems the turning
point of
Somalia
towards its end.
To stop this recurring tug-of war, and avoid
another confusing conflict in the short future,
the parliament members better revise the
existing charter, and draw a solid power
separation, boundary line between the merged
responsibilities of the president and the prime
minister, that will be used to judge who is
Right or Wrong, regardless of what others
think.
Thank you for reading this letter.
Yours Sincerely;
Peace And Justice Activist
