Somali Unity Council

PRESS RELEASE

Somalia has been in a constant instability, war and immigration for decades and over the last few years the misery of the people of Somalia have reached the level of desperation with unprecedented level of killings, displacement and immigration is currently taking place. Diaspora from UK and all around the world had created a common organisation to address the main issue that is causing the suffering the people of Somalia.

On this regard on the 12 — 13 of May the Somali Diaspora are gathered in a conference at the capital of Sweden Stockholm. The conference is hosted by the Somali Diaspora of Sweden with other Somali Diaspora who came from all around world in order to discuss ways to deal with the problems of Somalia.

The conference is held to raise the awareness of the issues that effected not only for our people but also our country’s future.

This press release we aim to empower the voice of change and to represent our views on the future of Somalia. Somali is a nation that has been in turmoil over 22 years, the current government or the leadership does not represent nor cannot protect our nation’s interest and cannot build a permanent government.

There are clear danger of the further wars, chaos and instability. Therefore the Somali Diaspora have taken the first step to establish a new form of political organisation called Somali National Unity.

We all know as a Somali people that we do want a new government that has the credibility and the public support to end corruption and the foreign occupation. Somalia is a victim to the global political and Somali personal interest that keeps failed leadership in place.

Often people argue the solution of Somalia is in the hands of Somalis. Let us make it clear that the only organisation that has the real solution for Somalia is the Somali Unity Council.

Somali Unity Council, Stockholm.
