Revitalization of Somalia

Currently, Somalia is like a dead body, where some of its beloved citizens lost their hope to restore the statehood back. . Implying convenient parable from one patient in a hospital, Somalia is in need of different ideas, suggestions, advices, instructions, and guidelines. …One may worry about the collapsed buildings, but I would rather worry about the people’s morality and mind. …No doubt, can overcome the long lasting disease through proper leadership that is well equipped with new clear and progressive vision, mission, objective, and plan (short, medium and long-term), which are built with convenient mechanisms and strategies. Never wait from the President to take the action but you take it first. Nationhood is just like one’s body with its organelles cells, cells, tissues, organs, and system. Biologically speaking, somebody can be active only when these components cooperate and work together hand in hand. In case, one of them is not feeling well, the rest also are not feeling well and vice versa. Human body could collapse with the collapse of one of these five parts, and any infection on one part would be transmitted to the next part. Similar circumstance is true in the case of governmental structure and nationhood. ..In this process, there is one particular piece of flesh in the body that must be given special treatment due to its significance. If this piece of flesh, that is only a part of the body, feels sickness, the entire body would become sick until one may stop movement.

OUR CRISIS IS A MIND FACULTY
Let us resort to Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) treatment in order to solve our problems of decades of civil wars and criminal activities: let us resort to individual mental check ups, in order to sort out and quarantine those of us who are sick with politically communicable diseases before they spread to all of us? Any physical disease or virus that may affect the health of the human body can be investigated, examined, identified, found, diagnosed, and deliberated. Then, it can be tackled through several methodologies and strategies including early prevention and intervention, while curing and nursing the patient. Spiritually speaking, human being is in a stage between angelic and animalistic characteristics. The mentality of certain individuals may go all the way as low as that of the animal or even below. In contrast to that, the mentality of certain other individuals may go as high as that of the angles or even higher level. The reason is that angels were made of pure spirit, while animals were made full of desires, but man is made of both.

SOMALIA NEEDS NO MILITARY, BUT WIDE-RANGING POLICE
The new Somalia does not need any military troops. Presumably, the only country that could be a threat to Somalia is Ethiopia, and the best choice to treat with Ethiopia is to keep international peacekeepers along the border between the two countries. To obtain national support, the peace keeping forces must be mixed of Arab and African countries, as it is to exclude from the frontline states… The best choice to stabilize Somalia through law enforcem is to build effectively wide range police and well-trained judges in the courts. National police should contain several departments such as “Criminal Investigation Department, Intelligence Department, Traffic Department, Manners Department, Prison Wards, Coastal Guards, Air Police, Emergence Medical Service, Fire Service, Parachute unit.

CURING THE CHOAS FROM ITS CAUSES
Somali citizens both collectively and individually should stop negativity, complexity, and duplicating others’ works and ideas. Furthermore, we should refrain from being quick temper, quick decision-makers, and quick action-takers. However, the change should start by correcting traditional treatment of family-hood, childhood, early education, religious practices, and personal mannerisms concurrently. Strategic methods for the establishment and sustainment of durable peace and stability should be adopted through reconciliation, reintegration, disarmament, demobilization, public investment, socialization, sharing, and raising self-confidence. This would emerge in the form of making-up personal minds, self-rehabilitating, sincerity, and positivity. …If Islamic Extremists refuse negotiations, it is to uproot them. In order to accomplish such a military mission, no fewer than 40,000 well-arm and well-trained foot soldiers of Muslim states could come in and clear them out in 3 months. During this process neighboring and non-neighboring countries that have frequently, meddled in Somalia’s internal politics should sit-back, take a break and think deeply about the matter. They need to compare and contrast whether their interest in Somalia is viable without a government or with a government. If Somali forces are needed for such a physical war, a well-supported moderate Islamic military (not Sufi cult) may be organized to defeat the current extremists.

Obviously, all we are lacking is genuine leadership from a head of state to a junior employee. In its current circumstance, neither the old generation nor the young generation would be suitable to lead the country. Those of middle age with comprehensive and updated experience and appropriate qualifications would better lead this devastated nation. The middle generation can bridge the gap acting as a comma (,) to connect the two generations together. Similarly, neither secular nor Islamic extremists would ever be fitting to lead the nation: a modern mediator is what should be required. All the administrators should come to power through fair and free election, but in the current circumstance, there must be tactfully planned election-toolkits in place beforehand. Information Technology with networking systems must be utilized properly and accordingly for the purposes of fresh population census, election, administration, security, all kinds of social services. This could eliminate nepotism, favoritism, mal-administration, corruption, selfishness, voraciousness, public looting, and political brokering behaviors.

Following the election, Somalia’s governmental structure should be reformed and revamped properly, conveniently, modernly, and moderately. Since Somalis turned to politico-religious people, we need to compare, contrast, subject, object, and adjust (to each other) between Democracy and Shura. Eventually, the need of a Scientific Democracy could be implemented. In order to respect each of the old traditionalists, neo-modernists, neo-Islamists, and neo-politicians, the governmental system of “Consociation” needs to be employed.
