Click here to visit the Socialist Alliance website Somali human rights activist criticises intervention By Moyiga Nduru Omaar lost her job as executive director of the London-based human rights group Africa Watch in December, in a row over her opposition to the deployment of 30,000 US-led troops in Somalia. Always critical of foreign activities in her home country, Omaar came into conflict with Africa Watch's parent body, Human Rights Watch, in Washington, which instructed her not to speak out against the invasion. In the end, she was fired and her British deputy, Alex De Waal, resigned in protest. Now free to speak, she has become ever more outspoken about the situation, criticising foreign reporters in Somalia for only interviewing foreign aid officials, while ignoring local non-governmental organisations and officials. Rakiya Omaar had disputed US claims that up to 80% of all relief sent to Somalia was being stolen, which became the justification for sending the troops. She cited relief organisations such as Save the Children and the International Committee of the Red Cross as enduring a loss rate of only 5 to 10%, an average figure in all famine relief.

Home Indigenous Africa The Concept Of Wealth In Traditional Africa George B.N. Ayittey Most lineages in traditional Africa have a "family pot," a general welfare fund managed by the head of the extended family. Income-earning members are obligated to make contributions to this fund. Obligations vary from family to family and tribe to tribe. The contributor in some cases may make a minimum regular payment. In other cases, the contribution may be irregular and based upon financial ability. In some families, contributions may be entirely voluntary for those who no longer live in the village. However, failure to contribute is often interpreted as an abandonment of one's family, which is considered a serious transgression. The offender may be ostracized or caused to forfeit his inheritance rights. However, atonement can often be made with one "large" contribution to cover past arrears. Across Africa, the family pot, called the agbadoho among the Ewe seine fishermen of Ghana, is used for a variety of purposes: to provide the initial start-up capital for a business or trade; to finance the education, hospitalization and the foreign trip of a member of the extended family; to cover funeral expenses; to finance improvement costs to the family land; or to construct new dwellings. The African family pot, not well understood, has also been the source of much confusion and myth. The erroneous corollary was the assumption that there were neither poverty nor rich peasants in pre-colonial Africa. Even the United Nations Regional Department on Social Welfare Policy and Training of the Economic Commission for Africa, succumbed to this myth in 1972:

The Bantu family's arrival marks a new chapter in the life of a people who have lived in constant oppression for almost two centuries. The refugee family is among the first to arrive of the approximately 12,000 whom the U.S. State Department has approved for resettlement in nearly 50 U.S. cities over the next two years. The Somali Bantu family of three is being assisted locally by CWS affiliate the Interreligious Council of Central New York and local co-sponsoring interfaith groups. The family is first of about 80 Somali Bantu refugees that CWS will bring to Syracuse, with 305 total of the Somali Bantu expected to come to Syracuse through CWS and other Voluntary Agencies over the next two years. After almost two centuries of slavery, persecution, and dispersion across Africa and the Middle East – and, more recently, a decade of life in refugee camps – "the Somali Bantu come to us as a very special group of people," says Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program Director Joe Roberson.

92. Cultural Knowledge Is A Vital Part Of Community Nimco Ahmed, Confederation of somali Community in have important local knowledge—indigenous, traditional and each community with people’s interpretations http://www.madii.org/html/cultureknow.html

Cultural Knowledge Culture is vital to people’s understanding of themselves, their world and how they function in it. It is clearly connected with identity and a sense of belonging as well as to the place where people live. Cultural knowledge includes not only physical resources, places and traditional practices, but also stories and knowledge people have developed to sustain themselves as they innovate and adapt to changes in their environment, continuing to survive as a people and leading the way in learning how to live in more than one ‘world’. “Asset mapping helps us analyze more and different information for our planning to improve our organization and our Hmong community. This gives us more experience meeting people face to face. It’s a win-win position: benefit to the neighborhood, to people, to communities and to organizations.” Nai Vang, Southeast Asia Community Council, Minneapolis, Minnesota Cultural knowledge can be useful in many ways, such as in health care practices, education, family dynamics, child rearing, oral and local history, storytelling, respecting the environment, land use planning, decision making and numerous other applications. The way cultural knowledge is developed and shared is also an important aspect. Learning through discovery and observation, becoming aware of our environment and the interconnectedness of the web of life, creating from the resources at hand, sustaining mutual relationships, and relying on the talents and contributions of each member of the community are important for us all to develop.
