Dear ir thank you for the valuable information. In this turbolic world I find hamnitarian assistance quite a subject in its own right and respectfully I read with keen i nterest on the subject to my relief in finding somethings I h ave been viewing with skeptisms are frankly exposed. foremost is that in most humanitarian assistances as explained food is of not just subjective but an objective priori to propel other the success of other inteventions like medicinal,plavements and thus mobility, academic persuitments and career gets as well as caring for the young and the ageing along the process. As mentioned most of humanitarian aid is received by a larger the muslim community where islamic practice and western cultures often find themselves along t he cross roads of contradiction and hence likeable prey to conflict and at times inhuman epochs bu t all recognised again the same forces unveil the otherside keping humanitarian rights and oppotunities afore to help out the human kind. Accepted and recognised as the sine jure of the day even though Islamist affluence afflict western confluences and at most mistakenly thought a negation of basic humanitarian values that muslims have very close at heart thus bringing cultural value confluences in andem for human attention and care for the other. Well extrpolated and traces and track along developements expose a frowing focii of cultural directions towards a mix often interpreted as the cross roads’ cultures. Cosmopolitan ones being most appreciated and certainly apprehended as among most affected within the millenium and need intense care to handle less the waves turn the otherside from the shores of human understanding. Hence the low ebb of inter territotial and inter cultural misunderstandings that have despoiled the world map with blobbed patches here and there. Deploying delayments are really now the order of the day. exemplary is the kenya crisis after the kenya national elections as well as the serbia/kosovo one with one of them declaring Independence. Each area heavily humanitarian assisted dependent for sure. n Kenya there was not only delay in dploying and distributing aid but also delayment in reaching concesus on the table resulting in Kofi Anan’s pull out. Where is Kosovo/Serbia conflict salient terms hidden eversince war times re-emerged with thanking the same hand that fed them by burning down the embassy. These are social impetus when uncontrolled find directions along the same roads and alleys advice s negated. it is no strange that kenya proved so to the unbelief of mother nation Britain or the U.S that have been aiding the country to a democratic evolvement.Somewhere sometime humanitarian assistances where not channed to tune the peoples to worldly expectations but the contradictions there in evolved national sectarian sentiments that only ethnic cleansing was the temporal answer to uncertain democratic losses. here in we find certainly humanitarian assistances have to voice out or mould humanitarian values the unbalanced care and aid rendered if does not weight along the emergent needs certainly growth will tack an adverse direction. This is now the result we forsee and generations will experience if coalescement= forces that bind assistances to enshrined values= are encouraged towards detractions. Hence follow ups along monitoting and evaluation of the same ought be spurious enough to let by gones be bygones and absorb communities to accept the globalisation networks as part and percel of themselves in competition to survive. Such values will let sectarianism wain for more scientific valued world for what it is than clinging to the same values that are actually insignificant to our own purposes of existence. Leadership raising must be part of it and the best times are to look as present leaders as failures but we go ahead and incucate ayounger genre. I do not think our assistances take hed of this and if so not encouragingly for change of attitudes and behaviour from common norms would definately show. This is very vital to be upholded by providers that the transition periods reveal the ultimate or where we are heading. Bridges across crisis,needs fulfilment, resources mobilisation , treatment, rehabilitation and developement, a new approach to thinking out pertinent solutions ought be facilitated so that historical attecedents do not repeat themselves. Closer home we view chnges on the zanzibar islands with a lot of skeptism.peace talks fine we agree it is what we want but yet the victims have never been recompensated so with a downturn over coming epochs will it not be a shame after coiffers of money went over seatwarming is waylaid by the same erruptions again. the who is to blame. those who encouraged and supported a peaceful talks between tradionalist conservation of value differences or those who ensured temporal means and let the conflicts become more serious that before.
With Kenya like all coalition movements along sectarian paths the time for talks and coalition are viewed as times for resource get and consolidation of power.when erruptions take place the have nots suffer to safequard the haves or those inpower.In simple terms class struggles swaying masses are still rampantly blotching the worl map.Accepted there in where is the solution if not through the sid mechanism and human assistances for that matter.A chance to develop people towards rational values that the world will accept them as citizens. Anything less is but an endless dream told by one hardly dreaming but realy day dreaming.
Humaniatrian assistances may not be the best tolls for policy making but certainly have dictated policy measures and in so doing made us move where big brother wanted.For a while for he too is no longer rigid but dynamic so who should dictate these policies to the people if not the people themselves.
Thence on realising that the mojor beneficiary are mulims and that most donor enterprises are western nurtured a complentability of interestmatters ought be taken heed respective to the direction or trends developement rides along for a meaningful humanirarian assistance rendered so that we reduce the constraining elemnts along the cultural ubringing and overview of leaders to conform to the International acepted that donor agencies sustain and cherish to uplift.
