8. RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend to and urge the following parties:-
· To the Somali Transitional Unity Government:
a) to speak out loudly to both the Somali people especially the business community and dibad-joogga (Diaspora), and international community to raise awareness and draw more attention on the deep and widespread poverty and diseases prevailing in the country and make relevant urgent appeals to donate more humanitarian rescue funds for the millions of Somalis whose lives are threatened by such rampant and grinding poverty and diseases.
b) to launch a campaign and appoint a high level life-rescue Guddiga Qaranka ee Gurmadka Gargaarka iyo Horumarinta (National Emergency Relief and Development Committee) to make urgent to make urgent plans, surveys, and campaigns to raise resources and funds for saving the millions of lives at risk and to break with the cycle of turbulence, poverty, dependency and misery as a nation in coordination and cooperation with the international community.
To the Somali leadership elites: (politicians, intellectuals/professionals, religious leaders, etc.) who are out of government:
b)to be aware of and speak out the severe and rampant poverty and diseases decimating our people, make advocacy, awareness, and campaigns for collecting funds for rescue relief and development aid for our people helplessly languishing in widespread and grinding poverty and misery of all kinds. To do so, the Somali leadership elites, wherever they are, must organise themselves into various social and relief, economic, and political regional and national platforms inside and outside the country while engaging and cooperating with the international community. We are running out of time and more we wait and remain passive and purposeless, the more our nation heads into extinct given the dangerous circumstances surrounding it. .
· To the International Community (UN, US, EU, Arab Gulf Countries, etc.):
c)To raise the level of the current insufficient humanitarian aid by taking more proactive and concerted measures beyond the usual Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) in which Somalia is treated alongside other developing countries which are proportionally less afflicted and organise special urgent CAP for Somalia and/or organising special comprehensive Humanitarian, Reconstruction and Development Conference as there is no country as acutely affected as Somalia while also proactively supporting politically, financially and security wise the present Transitional Unity Government.
Ilaahow Aqoon-darro ha igu cadaabin, eexna ha iiga tagin (My God not punish me for ignorance, but do not exempt me for unfairness).
