Well done Al-Qadhi [Archives:2006/929/Letters to the Editor]

You really pointed out an important point; the problems that we all Somalis face in strange world that we were not used to; however, I would suggest that we come to a time when we stop pointing the fingers at each other. For example, your argument that Siyad Bare is responsible for what is happening in Somalia may alienate many people. I am not defending Siyad Bare. I really appreciate the fact that his regime had collapsed, but my point is we need unity at this time, and we need to avoid assigning responsibility. Just move on. Another point that I think you missed is the fact that the world has attempted to help Somali the people. I was in Somalia in 1992 when the United States sent 32000 marines, and I worked with them. I know what had happened then. Also, with regards to your comments on the Somali refugees who were raped and die in the sea on daily basis, I would have liked if you would discuss the many Somalis who move their families from the west to Arab States where they are treated sub-humans.
No offence just trying point out some areas where I felt you should upon. Thanks brother and keep your patriotism.
