What is the role of the World in solving the conflict in Somalia?
Related to country: Somalia

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

I am an African. I am a Kenyan. My country is a neighbor of Somalia. A country that has been at war since 1990, the country has been without government for over ten years.
Now I see countless Somali refugees in my country. Most of them have stayed for long enough that they are now citizens of Kenya. They have obtained refuge but they cant really say that they are secure. They can’t even say that they are at home!
Back in Somalia, many people have lost their homes, property, their loved ones, and most of all, hope. Many people have resulted to lawlessness. Practices like Piracy have become common. Kids carrying guns along the streets are no longer shocking! Somalia has become a haven for thieves! During the dry spells, the food situation in Somalia is unbelievable!

Through all this, I wonder. What exactly is the rest of the world doing to stop the war in Somalia?
The world should not turn away from Somalia. People in Somalia are still citizens of the World. We should do something! But what is my role as a young person in a neighboring country? What is my role as an African? What is my role as a human being?
It is not normal to have people die of Starvation in this day and age. It is not normal to have kids going to war! Its not normal to have teenagers who have no idea what peace means! Lets not make it normal! What I do? What will you do?
