News from Somalia Recently, a member of the International Zeitschrift editorial group, Mr. Aweis Issa, visited his
homeland of Somalia and met the Minister for Reconstruction, Resettlement, and Reintegration, the honourable Mr. Abdirahman Jama Abdalla, Member of
Parliament in the Transitional Federal Government of the Somali Republic. In our next issue, Aweis will be
writing about his trip and will be asking the question, "how can we in the West help
aid such reconstruction?"
