War Destroys, Peace Nurtures

by Richard Ford

Opening with a section written in Somali on the poetry of peace and reconciliation, this book goes on to present selected papers from the 8th Somali Studies International Association congress in July 2001. It focuses on finding tools, solutions and policies that speak to the need for building peace, establishing equitable and stable governance, and achieving reconciliation. The papers are of value not only to Somalis but also to other African states that have suffered horrific disasters over the last few decades inc- luding Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and others.
