Glad to see published our first paper on road traffic accidents in #Somaliland. The traffic accidents remain the unknown silent killer of Somaliland citizens.
ALT This study proposes policy options and strategies that can be applied against the causes of road traffic accidents both inside and outside urban centers. The implementation of these policies and strategies require firm leadership and a clear strategic vision.
2/2:Negative peace is the absence of violence eg when a ceasefire is enacted, a n/peace will ensue. Positive peace is filled with positive content such as restoration of r/ships, the creation of social systems that serve the needs of the whole population/constructive conflict/r
3/3: Positive peace involves the elimination of the root causes of war, violence, and injustice and the conscious attempt to build a society that reflects these commitments. Positive peace assumes an interconnectedness of all life. N/peace is defined as a peace without justice.
1/1: @slnhrc2 reported quarterly #SGBV report in the last 2 yrs (2020 &2021). Although the report mainly focus rape felony, the statistics of rape cases in January-June of that years uncovers 2 critical things need to study or to have policy attention:
2/2: 1. 44% of Perpetrators of rape were juvenile why?
2. 63% of the survivors were under 18 years why?
Although 56% of the perpetrators were adults, but the worrying is the number of juvenile accused for the felony.
#SGBV endangers Human Security and well being of Society.
#Somaliland: These wonderful photos are the evidence and life examples on how sports can catalyse social integration and harmony. The only reminder is to follow #COVID19 safety/ protection guidelines of the virus plague during the competition to prevent its transmission chains
