by any clan. We agree that where blood money or Diya is to be paid, it

victim's family forgives the murderer and asks for restitution and all

Diya will be in full without precedent arrangements.

borders are abolished and every Somali has the right to settle

anywhere, seek pasture and water anywhere in the lands inhabited by

the Somali. That measures to provide water, inculcate modern methods
