Even as presidential elections in the Federal Republic of Somalia were postponed for the third time, one of the candidates has launched his policy paper in Nairobi.

The event, bringing together select Nairobi based members of the diplomatic corps, the business community with interest in Somalia, local politicians and representatives of the Kenyan Somali community was also a forum to look at where Somalia as a country has come from and where it is headed. Ensuring national cohesion, forgiveness and healing, building a secure and stable Somalia were some of the issues that came to fore at the launch as most of the speakers emphasised the need for leaders to cultivate a cohesive and peaceful society.
