old building of Garowe domestic school on 2nd
Jan.2002 in the aim that Women must oppose to any
political action that puts their life in jeopardy and that
they can not tolerate any more the way is handled the
political situation in Puntland, that certainly will bring
about an armed confrontation in the Region.
Mobilization
activity which was continuing for the last couple of days
and will continue till the Conference for All Puntland
Women be held in Garowe on mid Jan. 2002. They have
identified different key areas of action such as: to
intensify further this mobilization for the following days
till the expecting of All Puntland Women Conference is
held in Garowe and to organize and set up the respective
committees in this concern.
In that
mobilization activity, Nugaal Women who gathered there
were sharing a strong feeling about their roles in Peace
and solidarity among Women in Puntland, conflict
resolutions and related early warning mechanisms, a call
for the roles of civil society in and outside Puntland,
the traditional peace making roles and their rights to
equal
Involvement. Poems
– Buraanbur – were best instrument that were used by
Women gathered there to equip themselves and others as
well toward the attainment of their objectives. ‘Either
we have to face this reality and undertake affirmative
action or withdraw from assuming our roles in the social
life and the hope for a just and dignified existence and
life’- was the main question posed in that mobilization
