SUNATIMES.COM - The Somali people have been hoping to heal from the painful experience suffered in ousting the military dictatorship that ruled the country for 21 years with an iron fist. Extrajudicial killings, widespread abuse of power, and economic deprivation shattered the safety, security, freedoms, and the living standards of the majority of the Somali people, triggering public rebellion, collapse of the Somali State, and civil war. The experience left an indelible pain in the memory of the Somali people. Therefore, the democratically elected officials were expected not to replicate the malpractices of the ousted dictatorship regime that destroyed the identity and solidarity of the Somali people. The 2012 Provisional Constitution (PC) lays down the new path for democratic system of self-governance.
