It had been
in the year 2014 when I have decided to get enrolled for an important post-graduate
course titled ‘Peace and Conflict Studies’ at the University of Hargeisa – and I
did complete that as required and attained the ‘Post-graduate Diploma on Peace
and Conflict Studies. The programme was
a cross-cutting process regarding the types, theories, analysis of conflict as
well as transforming it to a ‘Peaceful co-existence between/among the
conflicting parties’ which is one of the driving motives of the United Nations
and bigger international community forums.
Some of the areas pertinent to the subject—Peace & Conflict Studies
included the internationally accepted theories, the role of media in causing
conflict and resolving it on the other hand, Peace building versus
Peacekeeping, Indigenous ADR, Human Rights, Environment and Gender.
I really
felt grateful to have detected that important ad on the local papers at the
outset and went ahead to it. It not only
changed the way I was looking at the different conflicts—local, regional and international
but it helped me to be able to come up with the possible scenarios that could be
mitigating or aggravating a certain issue that may encounter me or I got to
know about it, thus, I would collect, analyze and present a short article that
in an amateur and academically-motivated form based on the publicly available
data on reliable websites, YouTube and Social Media. This could be used as a literature should it match
an area of interest for someone here or there, but proper citation will be
needed!
By the way,
in order to be further be conversant to this topic in an international setting,
I decided to study Global Studies and International Relations as my Masters
which I have recently concluded and continue reading multiple different books
on these two areas where I have become experienced—PACS & GSIR.
In both English and Somali languages, I shall be publishing on my LinkedIn and
Blogger.com pages personal articles on different issues across the Somali &
Arabian Peninsulas, the Horn of Africa and Africa where conflicts and Peace
Operations are prevalent currently as of 2019!

Waxay ahayd
badhtamihii sannadkii 2014 markii aan ku arkay mid ka mid ah jaraa’idada kasoo
baxa magaalada Hargeysa xayaysiis baahinaya in ay Jaamacadda Hargeisa
qaadanayso dufcad cusub oo baran doona ‘Barashada Xallinta Khilaafaadka iyo
Nabada’ aanan ku dhiiraday inaan ka midho-dhaliyo illaa dhamaadkii kuna
guulaystay. Qeybaha ay waxbarashadaasi
ka koobnayd waxa kamid ahaa, Adduunka kale ee aan Somalida ahayn, side dadka
aqoonyahaka ahi u daraaseeyeen ugana soo saareen ‘hal-muceedyo-theories’ la
isla ogolyahay oo quseeya noocyada kala duwan ee khilaafaadka ka dhaca
adduunyada; kala-duwanaanshaha raga iyo dumarku side ayuu u saameeyaa marka
khilaaf ama dagaal dhaco doorkeesee dhinac waliba ciyaaraa; degaanka,
isgaadhsiinta/saxaafadda iyo khayraadka dabiiciga ahi door ma ku leeyihiin inuu
khilaaf abuurmo; dhanka kale marka dagaal qarxo, xuquuqda aadamuhu maxay
dambarsataa, dadka aan dagaalka ku jirin ee afka soomaaliga lagu yidhaa ‘maxasta’
xaalkoodu siduu ku dambeeya; intaasoo dhan ka dib sidee loo xallin karaa
dhibkaa iyo dagaalkaa dhacay?
Haddaba aqoontaa
cusub ee igu soo korodhay sannadkaasi oo aan runtii aad u mahadiyay waxa ay ii
saamaxday in aan fikir ahaan iska bedello qaabkii hore ee aan u arki jiray
khilaafyada ka dhaca deegaanka aa ku noolahay ee Somaliland, gobolka Geeska Afrika
iyo wadamada jaarka ahba sida Yemen oo hadda dagaal riiq-dheeraaday kasocdo
muddo sannado badan ah illaa 2011 la islana daalay isuna bedelay hadda dagaal
balaadhan (proxy war) ay ku loolamayaan awoodo aan ahayn reer Yemen.
Daraasaadkii
aan samaynay iyo akhriskii badnaa arrinkan la xidhiidhay wuxu igusii dhiiri
geliyay inaan barto kuna diyaariyo waxbarashada heerka 2aad ee Masters of Arts –
Barashada Xidhiidhka Caalamiga ah iyo Qaababka Ibnu-Aadamku ugu nool yahay ifka
kaas oo aan dhawaan dhamaystay haddana weli wado akhriskii dheeraadka ahaa ee
buugaag kala duwan, maqaalo ay qoreen dad faro badan oo arrimahan hore u
bartay, ugu shaqeeyay, dadkoodana ku matalay sidii noloshooda iyo
dawladahoodaba ay wax ugu tari lahaayeen, calal aqal fikir saliim ah oo umadda
inta badan anfacaya ugu tuuri lahaayeen dhegaha inta soo jeedda kaasoo marka
dambe gaadhi kara cid saamayn iyo awoodba u leh in ay hir-geliso.
Anoo adeegsanaya
luuqadaha Ingiriisida iyo Soomaaliba, waxa aan ku qori doonaa bogagayga
LinkedInka iyo Blogger.com qoraallo shaqsi oon marnaba si gaar ah u quseyn Karin
cid gaar ah balse taxliilinaya arrimo kala duwan oo ka jira dhulka Soomaalida
ee Geeska Afrika, wadamada la jaarka dhulkii la odhan jiray ‘Somali Republic’ iyo
Afrika guud ahaamba. Qoraaladaasi waxay
gabi ahaanba ku salaysnaan doonaan xogaha bacadyaalka ah ee ku jira boggaga
internet-ka, Youtube, Buugaag Qoran, iyo fikir ahaan taxliilin shaqsi ah sida
aan u arko anigoo isu gaynaya aqoonta aan bartay iyo qaab-fikirkeyga dabiiciga
ah isla markaana aan cidna ku metelin!
