Borys Wrzesnewskyj, Member of Parliament
for Etobicoke Centre, recently travelled on a self financed unofficial
fact-finding mission to raise awareness of the need for international
support for peace and stability in the civil war-torn east African
nation of Somalia. While there, he met with senior officials of
the Somali transitional government, including President Abdullahi
Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Ghedi during his three-day goodwill
mission to Jowhar, 90 km north of the capital, Mogadishu.
Borys Wrzesnewskyj
has repeatedly stated that the Canadian government, in partnership
with the Somali Canadian community - the largest African community
in Canada - can play a critical role in bringing peace and restoration
of civil society to this failed state. Join Borys Wrzesnewskyj,
other political and community leaders in an important discussion
and celebration of his recent trip to Somalia.
