	President Aidid's Somalia
		Howe failed to understand that Aidid, of all of Somalia's politicians, was the most consistent nationalist and that he was not going to stand aside and allow his country to become an experiment in state building by those ignorant of its political and cultural traditions.
		The president repeatedly pointed out that since the establishment of the transitional government, there has been peace in Somalia except for minor clashes as the new civil administration consolidates its authority, restores taxation, and returns to regions which have been anarchic since 1991.
		Somalia, along with Liberia, Mozambique, Angola, and Rwanda, seems to be giving the lie to those racist critics who argued that Africa's problems were so intractable that only recolonization would solve them.

		A decade after plunging into civil war and general disintegration, Somalia in 2000 regained a president and government, which enjoy the tentative support of the international community but which have yet to really make their mark at home.
		The fledgling administration is the fruit of a reconciliation conference held in the town of Arta, in neighbouring Djibouti, under the guidance of that country's president, Ismael Omar Guelleh and attended by thousands of Somali delegates.
		According to Dr Fuje, the reasons for their prevalence are simple: the collapse of the health and other services, overcrowding, lack of national guidelines, the low level of nutrition of the population, and the poor quality of the available drugs.

		While Somali officials insist the move is under way, neither the president, the premier nor other senior members of the government appear to have immediate plans to permanently base themselves in Somalia.
		Somalia has been in chaos without any functioning central authority since the ouster of strongman Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 turned the Horn of Africa nation into a patchwork of fiefdoms ruled by violent warlords.
		Previous international attempts to secure peace in Somalia have failed with UN and US forays between 1993 and 1995 ending with their missions being sucked into inter-clan fighting, resulting in the death of about 140 UN peacekeepers, 18 US special forces members and thousands of Somalis.

		Somalia is in the news again as a potential target in America’s war against terrorism because of the reported presence of al-Qaida operatives in the impoverished nation.
		Although Hassan’s Transitional National Government has a tenuous grip on power and controls very little of Somalia outside the capital, it is the closest the country has come in a decade to resolving the bloody civil war that has consumed that nation.
		But if by terrorists he claims that al-Qaida or bin Laden or people associated with these organizations are in Somalia, then I think this is false and we invite the Americans, we invite the United Nations Security Council, we invite the press of the world to come to Somalia and see for themselves.

		Therefore, in the near future the establishment of either a federation with Somalia or a unitary state combining the two as in the past was unlikely.
