The toll has climbed to 39 dead in an unusually deadly suicide bombing during the weekend in the Somali capital Mogadishu, rescue workers said Monday, the first since a new president was chosen this month.
Somalia’s constitution needs reform to effect a government structure centered on a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament like the one followed in Finland. A committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s should also be installed. The prerequisite for permanent world peace is global democratization, and the Somali government should carry out fundamental reform of its constitution to implement the above systems and achieve a paradigm shift toward democracy and One World under One Set of Rules. In addition, the constitution should be further revised as needed to keep in line with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
