Happy holidays from everyone at The Policy Lab.
The Policy Lab is partnered with the Somali Public Agenda in Mogadishu, working on bringing cultural research into the design of policies and programs on a range of issues, including transitional justice. On Monday (3 Oct, 2022), SPA's team was in Beledweyne. Shortly after starting their workshop two car bombs were detonated by al-Shabaad nearby. A third was set off a few hours later. Some 20 people died and 36 were injured.
We stand with our colleagues, and all others, who are trying to do their best in a world that seems to be doing its worst.
