Date: November 29, 1993 The Untold Apartheid Imposed On The Somali Bantu/Jareer People In Somalia INTRODUCTION On behalf of the Somali Bantu / Jareer people in Somalia, I would like to take this golden opportunity to congratulate you and to express my gratitude to the honorable College of Holy Cross for hosting this historic event of the 5 th Congress for Somali Studies. I would like to convey a special thanks to all the protagonists for their relentless effort, and to every staff member of the Holy Cross for their genuine support to the participants of this Congress. The significance and magnitude of this paper is intended to emphasis conspicuously and to elaborate in detail the perpetual and persistent atrocities committed against Bantu/Jarer people in Somalia. I appeal to every civilized person .to join me in the struggle to end the long-standing and on-going racism and discrimination which have caused untold sufferings to Bantu/Jarer people since Somalia was founded. This paper will also unveil some crucial information that has always been kept obscure and ambiguous to the outside world. The formidable history of Somali Bantu / Jarer people has been deliberately distorted and made insignificant by every Somali autarchy, as well as callous Somali scholars, who have deliberately contributed to misleading foreign writers.

Annexes Promoting Equity IUCN made significant progress in 2001 in policies and practices related to equity. A process was undertaken to analyse and design more equitable and sustainable community-based natural resource management projects. Important advances were made in developing an IUCN perspective on national and international policy and programmes related to indigenous and traditional peoples' issues. The IUCN Gender Advisor , based in the Regional Office for Mesoamerica , also took the lead on mainstreaming gender concerns into ecosystem conservation and management approaches, producing a series of specialized modules on gender and protected areas, and gender and marine and coastal zones; and training thousands of people and organizations in techniques and strategies to mainstream gender in their conservation work. IUCN ORMA produced two books on gender issues in 2001:

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which has the global mandate for the conservation of domestic animal diversity, about one-third of the 5000 officially documented livestock breeds are threatened with extinction and are dying out at the rate of almost two per week. At the same time, the value of local breeds and their advantages over high-performance breeds are becoming increasingly evident (FAO 1999). Disease resistance of indigenous breeds Adapting animals to new and unfavourable environments requires care and determination. The Tzotzil women of Chiapas, Mexico, developed their own breed of sheep - which are able to survive and produce under very challenging circumstances - from stock brought over by the Spanish conquerors (Perezgrovas 1996). The Fulani who inhabit the Sahel zone of Africa systematically and gradually expose animals to tsetse-infested areas, resulting in the survival of cattle in environments that were previously considered unsafe for them (Blench 1999).

Extractions: Somalia: The Untold Stories Since the fall of Siad Barre and the power struggle following his departure, events in Somalia have been closely followed by international media for four full years, as clan militia has been destroying everything leading Somalia into complete chaos. Press coverage has not always been fair, neither to the Somali people, nor to the many international actors who have been involved in various activities trying to alleviate suffering and bring order and peace to the region. The role of the UN, and especially UNOSOM, has been heavily criticised, and many have labelled it a complete failure. The same kind of criticism, however, could equally be levelled at other actors, such as the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the Islamic Conference, the Arab League as well as the neighboring states, and the NGOs and many others.

Extractions: I was very pleased to be invited to speak on Design and the African Cultural Identity though I am unsure as to what distinguishes African from American, Asian, European or anything in-between. I find speaking about culture in Africa similar to strolling up and down Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi; it is so easy to go from one end of the street to the other without seeing anything. A footpath, as trodden as African culture, appears obvious, yet one can lose ones way before the next bend because its complexity is in its simplicity. Now that I realise my task is pii nget yoo (a pond on the side of the road, a symbol of easy-difficult dichotomy), do I decline the invitation and get out of trouble? No. I cannot decline the invitation since doing so may prove hostile and not African; besides, a man must see challenges in the eye instead of shying away from them. African spears symbolise different things depending on the culture in question. Whatever the symbolism, this experience (of serving the chief and ones self at the same time) gave birth to the above expression, one I now use to justify indulging in African Renaissance, and a topic, which lies outside my invitation. Beyond finding an excuse to cover grounds more than I was requested. I cannot avoid marvelling at the use of tong (spear) in tong gweno (chicken spear; meaning, egg). I remember chicken eggs lying at the centre of homecoming rituals and a way to ward off lightning. Now I wonder what good an egg brings to a homecoming ritual, undertaken before a lost child, who has been away from home for ten years, re-enters the home. I also wonder how an egg humbles lightning.

REPORT OF THE OFFICE OF MISSION SERVICES The mission of God calls the church to faithful and wise use of its resources in the proclamation of the good news to neighbors and nations. Says Paul to the church in Ephesus, "Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time" (Eph. 5:15-16). In a time of great changes, it is particularly important to understand the context of mission in light of one's values and historic mission principles. Three years ago Mission Services began the process of strategic planning under the title "Discipling All Nations," which intentionally references the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). It confesses that the mission of God knows no geographical or racial boundaries. In all nationsincluding the United States and Canadabelievers are to cross boundaries to baptize, teach, and disciple in Christ. The following discernment process was used to write "Discipling All Nations:" Mission Services staff provided initial input.
