The declaration of the consultative Conference held in London on April 21-24, 2011 have been centered on theissues of peace, security, the provision of humanitarian assistance to those adversely affected by the war campaigns waged against our people and ravaging drought which envelops our territory. The related issues of the extension of social services, of carrying out reconstruction projects and of the undertaking of development programs have also been discussed. The deliberations have uncovered the necessity of crafting of a common political framework and identification of appropriate administrative mechanisms for assuring peace and stability in our territory among us and our neighboring communities and in the wider Horn of Africa area.

The common political framework incorporates the enduring commitment to the principles of :

·         Unity and territorial integrity of Somalia

·         Democratic self-governance and the abiding rights to resistance against aggression

·         Peaceful political dialogue in managing conflicts

·         Peaceful building, sinking the deep roots of stability and sustainable development

·         Good practices in self governance such as accountability and transparency

·         Sustainable management of the ”commons” (grazing areas and water points) in accordance with the carrying capacity of the land and the curbing of desertification.

Our commitment to these principles guide our strategy of self-governance and decide our own destiny. They motivate our embracing of conflict management through peaceful political dialogue and peace-building. They drive demand to end of the military occupation of our territories: towns, villages and country side. The above principles also guide our dedication to resistance and pursuit of liberty for our people.

The other Conference Recommendations and Conclusions are with regard to:

·         To hold an all-inclusive conference inside the country for SSC people, both at home and Diaspora.
