P-04-434 : The Welsh and Somalilanders have common love of poetry
Petition wording:
We call upon the
National Assembly for Wales, a nation known worldwide for its love of poetry,
to applaud the similar love enjoyed by its citizens of Somaliland descent whose
traditional culture considers poetry to be the core form of cultural
expression. Our call comes at the start
of the Olympic Truce, that period which extended from one week before to one
week after each Olympic Games in the ancient era enabling athletes to travel
unhindered through the lands of traditional enemies to compete in the spirit of
ekecheiria, the holding of hands. And as citizens of Wales, as lovers of poetry
and being committed to striving for peace within and between all nations, we
welcome the National Eisteddfod of Wales which we believe to unite these values
and we invite all to add their names to this petition and we hope you will
promote communities to communities links between our two nations.
