MILITARY CULTURE AND ETHICS The culture and ethics that inform the Canadian military are important to an understanding of the events that took place in Somalia. While a series of isolated incidents may seem unrelated on the surface, they may also reflect deeper institutional shortcomings regarding ethical matters and underlying cultural attitudes regarding duty and accountability. This chapter briefly explores some elements of Canadian military culture and ethics as a background to our inquiry into the experience of the Canadian Forces in Somalia. The specific focus is three aspects of military life: its corporate separateness from society, changes in the nature of military professionalism, and the role of ethics in the military. SEPARATENESS Common to most modem military organizations is the notion of being different from the rest of society. The Canadian military is no different from other armed forces in feeling a consequent separateness from society. In 1869, William Windham described armed forces generally as "a class of men set apart from the general mass of the community, trained to particular uses, formed to peculiar notions, governed by peculiar laws, marked by peculiar distinctions". According to a recent DND statement of the Canadian military ethos, the Canadian military sees itself as "a distinct sub-set of the entire Canadian fabric".

Country Listing Somalia Table of Contents Somalia People's Militia In August 1972, the government established the People's Militia, known as the Victory Pioneers (Guulwadayaal). Although a wing of the army, the militia worked under the supervision of the Political Bureau of the presidency. After the SRSP's formation in 1976, the militia became part of the party apparatus. Largely because of the need for military reserves, militia membership increased from 2,500 in 1977 to about 10,000 in 1979, and to approximately 20,000 by 1990. After the collapse of Siad Barre's regime, the People's Militia, like other military elements, disintegrated. The militia staffed the government and party orientation centers that were located in every settlement in Somalia. The militia aided in self-help programs, encouraged "revolutionary progress," promoted and defended Somali culture, and fought laziness, misuse of public property, and "reactionary" ideas and actions. Moreover, the militia acted as a law enforcement agency that performed duties such as checking contacts between Somalis and foreigners. The militia also had powers of arrest independent of the police. In rural areas, militiamen formed "vigilance corps" that guarded grazing areas and towns. After Siad Barre fled Mogadishu in January 1991, militia members tended to join one of the insurgent groups or clan militias.

Search Ethnomed: Food and Fasting in Somali Culture Florangela Davila, Author Reviewed by Ali Mohamed, Community House Calls Program, Harborview Medical Center June 2001 An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 Somali's living in the Seattle area reside in apartments in the Rainier Valley, in Kent, Tukwila and in SeaTac. So this is where, therefore, a handful of Somali groceries have sprouted up in recent years: its freezers stocked with goat meat; its shelves full of basmati rice, lentils, fava beans, fruit juice and pita bread. Somalis are, like all immigrant groups, adaptive and resourceful. And because they are a relatively recent refugee group, having fled a horrific civil war and famine in 1991 and only beginning to settle in Seattle in the last five years or so. Somalis here generally eat the sorts of foods they are used to from home - and make do, without complaint, when they can't consume the items they'd really like to find in the U.S. One of these preferred items is camel, both as source of calcium (its milk) and of protein (its meat). Camel milk, Somalis believe, is the most nutritious of the animal milks they drink - which also includes goat and cow. Although infants are breastfed up to the age of two, Somalis in their native land would also feed camel milk to children. Adults also regularly drink the milk and some Somali adults are apt to point to the tallest members of their families as proof of the tremendous advantage camel milk holds over other milk. Since many Somalis are nomads, back home they often ate a popular type of jerky called

Your browser does not support script Saturday 12 June 2004 Search IRIN Web Special on Separated Somali Children C hapter 3: Looking after separated children Diaspora responsibilities In most European countries, a person is considered a child up to 18, and is entitled to particular rights and treatment. This Western definition may contradict other cultural concepts of what childhood is. For example, in very traditional Somali culture, girls as young as nine may be considered adult; young teenage boys could be taking on the responsibilities of an adult in their home country. Faced with significant cultural contradictions and tough economic and social circumstances, the Somali diaspora find it difficult to raise and educate children, particularly separated children. When a Somali family living abroad takes on a separated child, there is often little comprehension as to what responsibilities that entails - particularly, the specific entitlement of rights bestowed on that child, and the ensuing state responsibilities. It is also unlikely that there is any understanding of the special needs a separated child might have, including issues of identity, depression and trauma. This can lead to serious conflict in the child-guardian relationship, and means a separated Somali child may "resurface" years after their arrival in official figures for crime, juvenile detention, truancy and drug abuse. Torn between two cultures Once in the host country, children - and particularly young teenagers - feel a heavy burden of peer pressure to assimilate. Children are likely to learn the language quickly and adopt "appropriate" cultural behaviour, whereas adults are more likely see it as their responsibility to retain and protect the original culture. Some children have to become a bridge between the two cultures. They must translate and respond to the outside world - for example, reading school letters to their guardians, and writing the reply - while at the same time responding to pressure at home to be worthy and respectful repositories of Somali culture. Attempts by the diaspora to retain the Somali culture include Koranic lessons and insisting on speaking Somali at home. Conflict arises in the family when the child rebels against "Somaliness", and takes on the lifestyle and values of the host culture to an extent that is detrimental to basic adult authority in the home.

80. IRIN Web Special On Separated Somali Children I don t think the Somali culture is a great one. It lacks civilization. People stare at you as if you are a total stranger in this country. http://www.irinnews.org/webspecials/Somalichildren/Chapter6/pa_Halima.asp

Your browser does not support script Saturday 12 June 2004 Search IRIN Web Special on Separated Somali Children C hapter 6: Personal Accounts - Halima Halima Halima was taken to Sweden as an unaccompanied minor when she was eight years old, but brought back to Somalia by her parents after her guardian complained of her behaviour. I am afraid that I may be killed here in Somalia. The children in the neighbourhood watch me strangely because I do not know the Somali language. In Mogadishu, people abuse and kill each other. Halima wants to return to Sweden - but she also fears losing her Somali identity: I was taken to Sweden after the war broke out, when I was eight years old. I had refugee status for four years, and then I was granted permission to stay. I started school and learnt the Swedish language. The Swedish government was very compassionate to refugees. Unaccompanied minors were given a hearing and allowed to go into interviews. When the children came into conflict with their guardians, they could go to their teachers, who would ask the children what problems they had - and they almost always helped. In Sweden, they take away and care for children who are battered by their parents. It is very difficult to live without your parents. I used to live with a kind Somali woman, who was a friend of my parents. Whenever she scolded me, I used to feel very bad. One day I was asked in school if I had any problems, and I told them of the sort of scolding I got from my foster mother. The school authorities came home and told my foster mother that she had to change, and that they would take me away from her if she ever mistreated me. This made her furious. She telephoned my parents in Somalia and told them all about it. They talked to me, and decided to bring me back. I was about 15 years old.
