The T-shirt and the Tuxedo

We can appreciate the role of governments, when they have good, solid policies on security, economy and diplomacy. What we cannot appreciate is when governments start wearing their humanitarian t-shirts to further political or economical causes.

The Humanitarian t-shirt can only be worn by neutral people, who only side with the people in need.  For example, governments could fund the building of airports in areas such as Puntland, Somaliland, and Mogadishu etc.

We cannot appreciate when governments wear the humanitarian t-shirt. However, we cannot appreciate governments wearing the tuxedo of humanitarian politics either. 

I would love to see governments investing in water and agriculture, fishing and livestock in different areas to bring stability to the whole Somalia and the whole region.

I would like to appeal to the governments in Muslim-majority countries to visit Somalia and assure the people in need that they will be helped. If one organisation takes this lead swiftly and effectively, the rest of the international community will follow.
