About 150 Somali women in the capital of Mogadishu have come together to appeal to the warring factions to end two decades of violence in the Horn of Africa nation.

 

The female parents are resorting to the media to drum home the urgent need for peace and promised to press on until Somalia know peace.

“You know if there is no peace there is no life, so we are extremely encouraging our sons and men, especially to those fighting against one another to be kind to each other and stop the hostility among them. The young generations must be allowed to take pen rather than gun,” one of the organizers Hawo Fanah told AfricaNews.

Somalia have not witnessed peace since political stability broke down in 1991. Women and children have been at the receiving end of the violence between a weakened government side and Al-Qaeda inspired terrorist group Al-shaabab.

Fanah told the men: “Every woman passing around you is either a joyful sister, or baby daughter, a merciful mother or beloved wife to the fellow men on this globe so that, they ought to be inspired, respected, achieved, honored and loved ever and ever at both home and away.

“We would like to continue our declaration till peace is done, but also would like to see if the international community could come up with a peace proposal for Somalia, though it has failed in several times to halt the sadism.”

Isn’t it so sad and shameful to see human beings living in conditions much, much lower than that of animals, when some people live in the lap of luxury, others elsewhere are subject to so much of deprivations, suffering and pain? The international community is complacent and quite happy to delegate everything to the U.N and the Security Council, hoping everything would run smoothly as clock work. But, does it happen that way? When fourteen people vote on a proposal and one has the power to veto it. Is that the height of democracy? Or the power the permanent members of the Security Council have to manipulate the lives of the humanity in this world. Thanks to much peace, faith and poverty elevation foundations, various NGO’S and missionaries that pour drops of water to these suffering masses in hell, of course we need to be mindful of a few wolves in sheep’s clothing that show themselves as shining Angels. It is time for factions, the governments and the opposing factions, to understand a human being and his needs, to drop their guns and get together to give a proper education and a decent life to all who are in need of it.

Black point in human history,

No security, no  clean water, no food, no education, no life in Somalia, the people is sick of non-stop conflicts and wars. they need to life in peace, to live their life as regular people in this world.
