 Rehabilitation and Reconstruction - ADB's Role in Afghanistan and the Region - ADB.org
The primary need is for national political reconciliation to bring all parties together to seek peace and stability, and the establishment of an acceptable political authority with representation from all groups concerned.
The representative nature of the political authority must be embodied in new codes, laws, and constitutions, or constitutional provisions that facilitate the transition to democratic, efficient, transparent, and accountable governance.
Successful reconstruction requires a clear conceptual understanding of the nature of relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and the development “continuum.” Although it is called a continuum, the progression of development is not necessarily linear and the transition from one stage to the next is not seamless, although this is a cherished goal.

 Morning Sun | Stages of History | History for the Masses
The rehabilitation process that began in the early 1970s and continued until the early 1980s (3) together with the 1981 Party resolution on history formed a theoretical and practical background to the reform policies of the 1980s.
By the early to mid-1980s, pressure for further political rehabilitations reaching back to the 1950s and even earlier (first of Hu Feng, then Yu Pingbo, and later of the film 'The Life of Wu Xun' and Hu Shi) was threatening the legitimacy of the Party's entire post-1949 political and cultural line.
Political language is only used in an ironic or sarcastic fashion; no street committees or their old ladies pry into the lives of a family that literally picks up a child on the street and fails to inform any authorities that they are keeping her.

 AUB: The Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Lebanon
A political accord known as the T'aif Agreement was finally drawn up in 1989, by Lebanese politicians, in the Saudi city of T'aif, under Saudi patronage, with the blessing of the United States and with Syrian approval (The Economist, 20 October 1990).
The abolition of political confessionalism is, according to the T'aif Agreement, a fundamental national goal, along with the establishment of universal social and economic justice.
In concluding this chapter, and in view of the preceding account of the post-war political maze, economic destruction and precarious assumptions regarding the availability of funds, along with the permanent pathologies of the bureaucracy, one is justified in doubting the prospects for success of the reconstruction programme.

Political process is a vital part of African society that has been abused and distorted by the force and nonresponsiveness of slavery, colonial occupation, and post independence repression all over Africa.
The process of violent political purging has to end, and all victims have to be given back their names, their memories rehabilitated, their contributions recognised, and their families and communities recognised.
However, with the advent of military occupation, slavery and colonial occupation, societal disruptions have created a population that is inhibited and frustrated and at the mercy of choatic forces beyond their comprehesion.

Six months before he left office in 1994, Salinas was so popular that gossip concerning his possible reelection was discussed openly, an extraordinary occurrence in a country were no reelection is as sacred a rule as one of the commandments.
Interestingly the journalists who covered the socially important event were not from the society or fashion sections of the media, but top reporters from the political and national desks of major dailies and news services.
As for today, clearly Salinas has again positioned himself as a political influence in Mexico that must be considered and reckoned with in all future political events.

But while the need for political rehabilitation is recognized, the international community has for the most part lacked a clear framework for political reform in post-conflict settings to inform its strategy and programmatic decisions.

As a result, the United States and Europe have begun to reassess their commitment to democratisation in Egypt and the region as a whole and Egyptian reformers have begun to fear that a genuine democratic opening might pose a real threat to the principle of equal citizenship and to the civic nature of the state.
The existing political landscape which pits the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) against Islamists in a political vacuum populated by weak and fragmented secular groups poses real challenges to the prospects of democratisation in Egypt; challenges which must be overcome if Egypt is to successfully make an exit from five decades of authoritarian rule.
A new political parties law that eases restrictions on the creation of political parties and their activities and a new electoral system are a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the rehabilitation of political parties in Egypt.

The political rehabilitation of former U.S. Rep. Enid Greene continued Saturday as Republican gubernatorial candidate Nolan Karras picked her to be his lieutenant governor running mate.
The announcement at the Salt Lake County GOP convention drew cheers from Republican loyalists, many of whom no doubt voted for Greene last August when she was elected state party vice chairwoman in the state GOP convention.
Several politically savvy Republicans at the convention said Karras' pick was smart — Greene may help him among party stalwarts in the state convention.

Washington, 15 March 2001 (RFE/RL) -- For the third time since the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, Moscow is engaged in the massive political rehabilitation of the victims of Soviet repression.
When combined with earlier rehabilitations under Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev, this figure suggests that almost every extended family would have been touched by one or another form of political repression under Soviet power.
At the same time, however, the assumption that granting rehabilitations of this kind posthumously or otherwise addressing the problem may be equally dangerous.

 Saints Don't Need Rehabilitation - Kommersant Moscow
Descendants of Tsar Nicholas II filed an application for the political rehabilitation of the emperor and his family who were shot in Ekaterinburg in 1918 and the tsar's brother Great Prince Mikhail Alexandrovich, who was shot the same year in Alapaevsk.
German Lukyanov, the Madrid-based lawyer for the royal family sent that letter to the Prosecutor General's Office citing the federal law “On the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression.” He said that the royal family contacted the President's Commission on the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression in 2002 but received no reply.
Therefore, talk of giving the royal family the status of politically repressed is unfounded,” commented deputy head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma Frants Klintsevich.

 Alan Ch. Kasaev, Ossetia-Ingushetia
Throughout the waning years of the Gorbachev era and early post-Soviet transitional period, the political climate shifted in favor of the peoples that had been subjected to mass repression and deportations during the Stalinist period.
Most liberal Russian politicians advocated not only the political rehabilitation of these people—i.e., return of all the rights of which they had been deprived, including the rights to own land and property—but also their territorial administrative rehabilitation—i.e., their right to communal control over their ethnic homelands.
For their part, the Ingushetians took until July 1995 to drop their demand that the region be returned to Ingushetia under the terms of the ill-fated statute “On the Rehabilitation of Repressed Peoples,” and have since held out for subordinating the region to direct federal control—a proposal that the North Ossetians have adamantly rejected.

The reaction to their political analysis for reconciliation agenda for Somalis in Eldoret, what I, couldn't understand is some writer's opinion, which was radical, and even worse & lacks intelligence or political background or both.
We must understand the civilwar, and the context of future Social, Economic, political rehabilitation and development and above all the first traces of Somali state, background and descent into civil war, if you want to blame it on some one why not the regime of dictator Siyad barre.
To understand political trends in Somalia, it is also vital to appreciate that the political constitution of Somalia society lies not in the centralised institution of Europe state model, but in the system where notions of social contract have more to do with regulating relationships between a central polity and individual citizen.
