The Intervention in Somalia

What Should Have Happened

The Intervention in Somalia: What Should Have Happened
"It’s important to continue to pursue an alternative scenario that gives time for a peace process based on broader participation."

John Paul Lederach directs the International Conciliation Service of the Mennonite Central Committee, and has been working closely in the past five years with Somalis in North America, Europe, and Somalia, in particular with a Somali forum, Ergada. He also teaches at Eastern Mennonite College in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Joe Stork spoke with him in early February 1993.
