CEREHRA -ONCE AGAIN- CALLS FOR POST-ELECTION, INCLUSIVE RECONCILIATIONS AMONG THE SOMALI TRIBES IN GEDO REGION
Related to country: Somalia

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Guided by its CP (cherished principles) of negotiation, reconciliation, reality, respect, and harmony, CEREHRA has today wrote to the regional stake-holders of Gedo region imploring them to initiate a regionwide, post-election, and all-inclusive reconciliation conference for inhabiting clans and prevailing political and religious organizations in the region.


"This will be a golden opportunity to seize now that Gedo region has only one administration that is relatively representive of the men of all clans." said the director of reconciliations and conflict management in Bulla Hawa of Gedo region.

The Director, has insinuated that CEREHRA is not happy with the male-dominated district councils and womanless regional council that had been established two months ago.

In a completely another arena, the Center has urged the pro-Shabab militia that's occupied Bardera and Burdubo districts to restrain anything that can create an unfortunate armed inter-clan or inter-sect confrontations similar to those in late 1990s.

"I don't think it makes any sense that the youth start demanding people here to wide open their mouths to make sure the people are not consuming Kat or tobacco for this matter." said a CEREHRA activist in Bardera.

The center also praised the Bardera district council and the mayor of the city for being calm and composed at the arrival of the Shebab militia in their turf. The Center further praised the Bardera Traditional Elders (Guurti) and their chairman for what they termed as "all the endeavor."

"The Guurti committee in Bardera are the back-bone of peace here in Bardera" said the Somali letter that was written in Somali "and all of us must be grateful to them. They are the main cause behind the tranquility that the people of this district enjoyed all the time while the rest of Gedo was burning in 1990s" it concluded.
