Proposed Peace Project. 

Radio Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Somalia.

Broadcasting of human hatred is not permitted.

The radio would be open to all schools of thought to come together in friendship and learn together as brothers and sisters.

How visitors to Somalia learn about Islam. 

In 1993 when I arrived in Somalia for the first time an 11 year old Somali boy said in the English language “I want to tell you about Islam.” 

I asked questions and if he did not know the answer he would ask his Somali speaking teacher. 

I had the best education in Australia to University level however in 1993 before I came to Somalia the only thing I knew about this religion was the word Islam and the name Mohamed. 

I thought that other foreigners in Somalia might also know little about Islam so in 1993 I included programs about Islam on the English short wave broadcasts of Radio Free Somalia (free for all to use) known today as Radio Galkayo. 

Sam Voron in Somalia. 

1993 Abdikarim Nur Mohamud invites Sam Voron to help Somalia.

1993 Sam from Sydney, Australia with the help of volunteers in Galkayo & Abdi and his Somali friends in Melbourne, Australia all helped to make the first radio station in North East Somalia (Radio Free Somalia “Free for everyone to use”- now known as Radio Galkayo).

1993 All Radio Galkayo volunteers in the training school successfully qualify for the Somalia amateur radio license.

1994 Sam & Abdi return with new equipment donated by the Rotary Club of Boulder (Western Australia).

1995 & 1997 Sam visits Somaliland and North East Somalia.

2000 Sam moves Radio Galkayo from the Galkayo Police station to its new home in central Galkayo.

2003 “Oxfam” and a Somali in Canada ask Sam to train students at Radio Jubba FM in Kismayo, Southern Somalia.

2004 USA Somali’s ask Sam & Adan 6O0N to start Galkayo’s third radio station Radio Daljir.

2004 The Voice of Peace and Radio Galkayo both ask Sam for technical help.

4. Islam Tourism Somalia (ITS).

Islam iyo Socoto ajnebita ee Soomaaliya. 

Tourism is an employment opportunity for the people of Somalia.

99 per cent of Somalis are Muslim and many would enjoy working in Islamic Tourism. 

When fighting stops in Somalia there will be a great opportunity for the people of the book (Christian and Jewish) and the non believers to visit Mosques that can specially welcome visitors to Somalia were they can ask questions and learn something about Islam. Combined with sight seeing this will make for a unique holiday experience.

The training of tourist staff to interact with foreigners will be in a way so that every visitor who returns home will say to their friends "for the best holiday GO TO SOMALIA." 

Abdi Razak Mohamed.

Teacher of Islam at the Galkayo Mosque

and

English language teacher at the Al-imra International institute of Languages.

This is a message to all the peoples of the world:

To the peoples of the Holy books (Jewish, Christians and Muslims) and to the people that do not know Allah (God) welcome to Somalia. Let you and me talk about Islam.
