The origin of the crisis on the Horn of Africa Region stems from the fact that the United Nations made a most serious injustice and a betrayal by recognising the regional charter of the OAU at least an article of which (see 3.3 below blue in italics) below) not only violates but defeats at least an article of the United Nations Charter (see 1.2 below blue in italics). Article 1.2 of the UN entitles self-determination to all colonised peoples (the Somali Nation included) while article 3.3 of the OAU Charter demands respect for the territorial integrity of member states BEFORE the territories of Africa were corrected back to how they were BEFORE colonialism and more strange enough at a time when a file/agenda was open on the UN desk for the re-unification and independence of the Somali nation bringing all the five parts into which Europeans (France, Italy and UK) divided the nation under one flag and rule. The Somalis made a more suicidal mistake in taking membership of the very conspiracy against them, the OAU charter which adopted the colonial borders and thus legalised and perpetuated their being divided in second class status.
If the UN is now serious about the peace and justice it is talking about and the negotiations and reconciliations, there is no isolated Solution to "a Somali political problem" but there is only ONE SOLUTION TO HORN AFRICA REGION: THE RE-OPENING OF THE ILLEGALLY CLOSED FILE STATED ABOVE, RE-UNITING THE SOMALI NATION UNDER ONE FEDERAL RULE AND LEADING THE REGION INTO A "PROSPERITY COMMON MARKET" IN WHIH NON FEELS NEITHER INJUSTICE NOR LAND-LOCKEDNESS.
A NEED FOR A SOMALO-PHONE CONFERENCE FOR A SOMALO-PHONE PUBLIC PETITION TO THE UN TO RE-OPEN THE SOMALI UNITY AND FREEDOM FILE AT THE UN – UNJUSTIFIABLY CLOSED BY THE UNITED NATION!
Sooner or later the Somali masses will have to think one more time and make a choice: SPEAK UNITED FOR THEIR RIGHTS OR REMAININ SECOND-CLASS STATUS IN MISERY UNIFORMLY. Since nonof them is in better life or is more free than the other any where they have to work together to change their status in this world in which the weak and divided is not counted at all. It is therefore an urgent need that the speakers of the Somali language (all Somalis) should start conferences and forums at Somalo-phone level. The media that speaks Somali ( websits, TVs, Radios, Publications, etc.) and communities abroad ought to start these forums/conferences and as soon as possible formulate in UNITY a public petition to the UN demanding the re-opening of their file which was closed illegally under the pretext that Africans have adopted colonialism and colonial borders and dominations.
As far as an approach currently applicable is concerned a ROAD MAP IS INDICATED BELOW IF THE WORLD IS HONESTLY SERIOUS ABOUT JUSTICE ON THE HORN OF AFRICA.

A Road Map for Peace and Prosperity for the Masses of the Horn of Africa Region
A MISSION OF 4+4 WOULD HIGHLY PROBABLY MANAGE TO SOLVE THE HORN OF AFRICAN CRISIS, ALLAH WILLING:
4 to blame: UK, France, Italy & UN plus 4 helpers: OIC, Saudia, The Vatican & USA
Hoping that the United Nations Envoy to Somalia and the related Horn Crisis visits the Somali Websites l would like to contribute the following to his data and opinion collection on the the strife-torn nation of Somalia with which the European colonialists (UK, France and Italy ) messed up with most in Africa as they divided it into five parts and when they left placed parts of Somalia under nearby Christian communities instead of delivering to the administration of that part of Somalia declared independent, current Somalia, which is only the Eastern part the Somali nation.
In most simple terms (and l hope the new UN envoy Ahmedou Ould Abdalla is aware of ): those three European Countries are responsible of the messy hell now prevailing on the horn - all communities - and they should sort it out with the help of the Vatican, the moslem World League, Saudia Arabia, USA and the United Nations: (3 colonizers plus the UN which illegally closed the Somali Nation Re-unification file in 1963 after OAU illegally adapted the colonial borders = 4 + 4 helpers). This would lead the region into a prosperity common market in which none feels neither injustice nor landlockedness after the Somali nation is re-unified.
The Horn conflict is more religious than plotical and thus should religious leaders give a hand and the regional OAU charter could not over-rule the global UN charter entitling self-determination and union for the Somali nation. UN and OAU probably violated Human Rights and related Laws.
A more detailed statement is given below.
HORN COMMON MARKET IS BETTER THAN LIFE HORN COMMON MISERIES!!!
Urgent needs: Role playing by the region's next of keens: the Islamic League, the Vatican and a change in President Qadafi's approach (sorting before union: justice first then cooperation)
After seventeen years of civil war and the fact that the current path doesn't look encouraging, l suggest that the citizens of the Horn Region and others interested in the betterment of those suffering masses give more time and other resources to the depth, the causes of and solutions to the current disaster on the Horn of Africa, specially in what is known as Somalia from where we have been watching horrifying sights in the latest news reports as well as the overall common miseries.
1- Depth, Cause and responsibility partners: No matter who will laugh, l have to say that the responsibility of what is happening in Somalia, the miseries that exist in the nearby communities as well as my being kidnapped in nearly twenty years rests on the shoulders of all Muslims in particular, the rest of the international community and the United Nations who all SIGNED AND/ OR RECOGNIZED THE SO CALLED "CHARTER OF ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNITY" which legalized and perpetuated the division of the Somali Nation into five parts by the European Colonialists, at a time when the file/case for the re-unification of that nation and the delimitation of its borders was open at the United Nation ( 1963).
A) Somalis were wrong to take membership of the OAU, let alone signing such atrocity against them;
B) Moslems on the continent (Arabs and more) were wrong to sign and had to advice against and warn the Somalis about it;
C) Muslims in general were wrong to recognize such enslaving conspiracy cover-coded : charter;
D) and the United Nations contradicted with itself by accepting to be over-ruled by a new and only a regional organization and thereby closing up the then on-desk/open Somali re-unification-and-border-case.
Such act has enslaved not the Somalis only but also the masses of the region in general and made servants to other continents that had and still have their own schemes against the entire continent – preventing the Africans from exploiting their much needed natural resources by plotting them into never ending conflicts and more.
It is now time the masses should take their freedom from those other continents and seek to work for a Horn Region Common market in African Union instead of life common miseries. And the following is the way to get there:
2- The Solution: The only solution is that the United Nations gets back to where it was right last: RE-OPEN THE SOMALI FILE IT CLOSED ILLEGALLY, RE-UNIFY THE SOMALI NATION, LEAD THE REGION TO AN UNCONDITIONED REGIONAL COMMON MARKET AND COOPERATION AND THUS REMOVE THE PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM BEING "LAND-LOCKED" WHICH NOW ALLEGEDLY LEADS SOME COMMUNITIES TO INVADE OTHERS FOR SEA ACCESS AND OTHER ILLUTIONS DESIGNED AND SUPPORTED BY THE CONSPIRING CONTINENTS. And while on this point the following role takings are necessary;
A) The Islamic league ought to indicate for all concerned that the league cares for the region and its masses and that the league advices PRESIDENT MU'AMAR AL QADAFI OF LIBYA that he , using his reputation and capital, first sorts out the mess left by the European Colonizers on the continent, deliver each territory to whom it belonged to before the mess-making colonialists and then create a legitimate share company with legitimate shares (African Union) which is in the interest of all Africans and probably the world at large depending on its would-be structure;
B) The Vatican which has now been voicing their concern and interest ought to remind the masses of the region and their administrations who all claim that they all believe in one God, the Almighty Allah, that only and only that Almighty Allah determines who is settled where on earth and none other power and who should have access to the sea and who should be landlocked, and that a believer in God should be satisfied with His administration and may not try to acquire any sea nor ocean by his own force which too was given to him by the Almighty. This would then lead to a prosperous regional common market feeling neither injustices nor land-lockednesses.
AND THIS TO HAPPEN, MOSLIMS SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD -- ALL MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE OF ISLAAMIC NATIONS. IT IS AN INTOLERABLE MATTER TO SEE THAT THE LEAGUE OF CHRISTIAN NATIONS SOLVES PROBLEMS FOR THE LEAGUE OF ISLAAIC NATIONS AS IF THEY WERE UNEXISTENT AT ALL. Many people see the sole assignment of IGAD (East African Members of OAU) to help the Somalis as an illogical, malicious and offending act because of the distrust among the masses of the region – it sounds to them like: those in whose interest and safety we have demolished you and your nation take care of you! How come? Any Moslem who is not satisfied with the current business-ways of the Somalis should anyway remember that the Somali territory is an asset of the Moslem Nation (MAALU UMMAH MUSLIMAH) and has to be liberated in full and defended, beginning with formation of forces to intervene the current crisis.
Non-Muslims in the world are undeniably interested in that land so much that they eliminate and even kidnap a life-kidnap anyone who utters a word about, which is what they have done to me and the rest of the world, except few, either supports or simply watches, proving the term "human rights" to be a mere talk and crime cover! One of the results is that now it is unsafe to work for the Somali Nation honestly since its citizens will be your first enemies even before their enemies knock you down!
It is most urgently needed that the following Arab and Muslim summits take this matter as a priority agenda in parallel with the Palestinian and similar urgent issues like my being a life-hostage as a result of the above expressions in the past twenty seven years.
