With these
interviews and joint communiqués, Roobdoon
Forum begins what it anticipates will be a continuing series
(of zooming in previous speeches and interviews) in weekly conduct. The
entire series will exclusively be published in
Biyokulule website. The series was
compiled under the direction of the Forum
and contains a wide range of references
in which a large junk of interviews and statements were
transcribed, translated, and deposited by FBIS.
The
purpose of zooming in our recent past is
simply to let ourselves find solutions for the current tragic situation
we as Somalis are in. This forwarded anthology of speeches, joint
communiqué, and interviews from Somali leaders might help to those who
seek solving the problem to search for an interpretation of the ongoing
civil wars.
Here, Roobdoon
Forum is not rendering a moral judgment and
therefore willing to go out of its usual way by not commenting the
interviews and statements presented by Somali leaders and faction
spokespersons.
N.B.
anyone having contemporary letters, speeches, and other historical
sources pertaining warlords is courteously requested to contact the
Forum.
