Somali faction leaders and others have today been sworn in as members of parliament, among them were warlords.
I used to be a Somali Warlord I have always been seeking peace But peace was hiding away from me Surprise. I met her in Nairobi I confessed my love to her She cried. I didn't let her tears leave the beautiful eyes I cleaned them with my comfort-giving palm I bought her gifts and presents We agreed to forgive each other At the UN Office in Nairobi today our marriage ceremony was presided over I was sworn in as a Member of Parliament I am a Peace Lord, not any more a warlord A law maker I am. Not a Law breaker. I was the storm of destruction But now I turned to be a wind of hope Hardly my followers understand this I was their leader and teacher. I told them to break the law. I want them to respect the law The very law I ordered them to be disobey Will they ever listen to me? Will they ever believe in me if I preach? A tough challenge lies ahead. Very tough indeed Disarmament is one way I can survive. It is my shield to hide behind Otherwise I and peace may soon divorce

How I pray that all you hope for will come to pass Abdi Noor!
A country must have fair law and order to be of any worth...
Justice is sorely missing in the world today!
