Somali Unit at U.S Embassy Nairobi Supports Production of 5000 CDs on Peace

June 4, 2008

The Somalia Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi recently supported the production of Waayaha Cusub's new album Dhalinyaro ("Youth").  The album's 17 songs celebrate the role of youth in Somalia's continuing efforts to move toward peace and stability.  The CD's, VCD's, and cassettes were distributed free of charge throughout Somalia and among Somali populations in Kenya.  Waayaha Cusub marked the success of the project with an event in Eastleigh, Nairobi in early June at which representatives of the Transitional Federal Government and U.S. Embassy's Somalia Unit spoke about the group's commendable work in promoting reconciliation in Somalia
