Somali reconciliation conference

Why hasn't such a thing happened in Somalia the last 30 years? Bringing together Qabiils from every region in Greater Somalia. Having Clan elders, culumo, politicians, academics and citizens all come together. Accepting our mistakes, forgiving each other and reminding us of our common brotherhood since we are all Somali and share the same religion and language. Talking about the need for unity and working together and building a nation for our future generations. Building connections and ties, maybe those youngsters who attend would go on to form political parties in the future based on midnimo and a common ideology irrespective of qabiil.

It would've been nice if this conference happened every year in different regions/cities in Somaliweyn and a similar one for the diaspora abroad.

If Rwanda was able to move on from its cruel past to a better future why can't we as Somalis and Muslims do the same? Or if we go down the route of balkinsation it would help us still work together independently and collectively.

It happened in the early 2000s when everyone other than us reconciled with one another out of pure enmity of the Djibouti-created Abdiqasam admin.

Just in case anyone wants more info this is what I found


Can't believe how many attempts at conferences/reconciliation have been made...cairo,baydhabo,Sana, adis adaba conference etc...the link above is saying that the Arta was the 13 conference and the one that finally brought about a form of government with Abdi Qaasim Transitional National Government (TNG)

This is all reconciliation between politicians and perhaps elite in general but not the actual people as kinda happened in Rwanda perhaps. No wonder it’s so fragile and mostly useless.

But Abdi rule one street called maka mukraama.
 
Carta was a sham of a political conference.

The only genuine conference that has ever happened for the ethnic unity of the Somali nation was in 1948

The only reconciliation that worked in the last 35 years has been between the Isaaq and Gadabuursi, the only way forward is to let things go and forge a fresh start, the only way to fix Somali society is to fix issues with your neighbours or in the case in the north you distant family.
