national security, conflict resolution, humanitarian assistance, all favoring the path of dialogue with the opposition: these are the cornerstones of the strategy of the new Somali Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein, also known as Nur Adde. "We must take into account - explains un'intervista esclusiva concessa all'Ansa (il dialogo si è svolto in italiano) nella sua residenza di Baidoa, 245 km a nord ovest di Mogadiscio - che siamo in guerra civile da oltre 17 anni, da quando fu rovesciato Siad Barre.
Una guerra che ha distrutto tutto, fino al punto di annichilire anche i valori morali. Ed è forse proprio dalla ricostruzione di questi ultimi, dalle fondamenta civili, insomma, che bisogna ripartire". Quanto alla strada maestra, il premier è preciso: "Inseguire con ogni mezzo quanto possa aiutare la pacificazione, scegliendo il dialogo e sperando che ci porti ad una soluzione; ma tutto ciò nell'ambito del ristabilimento di ordine e sicurezza che consenta la soluzione dei conflitti. Ma, ripeto, contiamo di arrivarci col dialogo, di raggiungere così la sicurezza nazionale, l'accesso agli aiuti umanitari, e la soluzione dei problemi più urgenti. Certo, la loro stratificazione dovuta a 17 anni di guerra civile è enorme". -Ma ciò significa che intende dialogare anche con i terroristi islamici che sembrano sempre più presenti e forti a Mogadiscio? "La parola terroristi non mi appartiene: io parlo di opposizione e di insorti. E con loro le porte del dialogo sono aperte: i somali sono somali, e tutti quelli che vogliono il bene della Somalia saranno i benvenuti, non escluderemo nessuno, le nostre porte saranno sempre aperte".
Qualche piccola perplessità, poi, da parte di Nur Adde sull'attuale ruolo dell'Italia compared to the Somali problem, "Sure-says-the role played by Italy was very helpful, but you need to make progress. This is also considering the level of expectations given the history of Somalia and close bonds of friendship and cooperation that They tied our two countries for many years. Well, I think that Italy should make an extra effort to revive its role as they await government and Somali people. Moreover, "adds-I just received a letter from Romano Prodi I gives hope to do so. " The interview ends when Nur Adde was informed that the president, Abdullahi Yusuf, who commissioned last November 21 after a long tug of war with his predecessor, Ali Gedi, awaits him. We must develop a list of government: it will not be easy, but is expected in weeks. Then, presumably, a new plebiscite in the Parliament, the cone, which approved the investiture of the new premier. But, finally, the substance does not change.
The noble statements of Prime Minister appear a bit 'like the famous quote from Martin Luther King:' I have a dream.'' Yes, a beautiful dream. Because the reality is that Baidoa - already beautiful city, almost completely destroyed by years of conflict that has been the epicenter - is under siege. Huge numbers of soldiers deployed along the roads, many Ethiopians; checkpoints every ten feet, and although this is not rare attacks on police stations. In Baidoa, however, even if it remained the seat of the Ethiopian Parliament, have now returned to the president and prime minister forced to flee the fighting in Mogadishu. And the common people, in desperation, has little hope that the new prime minister can really change the situation, tragic, and that is getting heavier for Baidoa.
All is clear that those who have the keys of power in the hands remain the president, and he hardly changes may be made gentle. This, at least, the feeling that you can have a good drinking with other customers expressed on the main road to Baidoa, still full of writings in Italian as 'tire' or 'auto parts Torino'. While the situation humanitarian drama. Over fifteen thousand registered refugees 'officially' in the camps. But in general, about 40,000. They operate seven UN humanitarian agencies and four NGOs. The main, Caritas, has a small hospital where he can perform 120 consultations per day, plus a forty minor surgery. People lined up the night, says one of the leaders of the center, give them something to rest, and to protect against rain. But what we can do is just: there are no hospitals, the closest is in Mogadishu: it almost impossible to get, and the hospitals are full.
