Event unthinkable just few years ago. Somalia is slowly moving forward.

addicts will then spend whole families salaries. It has to be a gradual process

That way you create the cultural association of Khat being for losers. People will stop using it as they don't want to ''end up like that guy'' (like how Westerners view coke addicts).

Stigmatization. At the moment khat is a social acceptable recreational activity in Somali society, we have to change that.
 
For the past 8 years Ethiopia was the head of IGAD org, like what about the other countries (Kenya, djbouti, ..,,,,) BTW they abused their power

You can wait a hundred years, not much will change. Making it expensive as f*ck is the only option other than out right banning it.
 
Our country is seeing small but promising signs of a change for the better. This summit is mostly symbolic but it is a symbol of a new dawn for the Somali state and its people.

When it comes to Khat a mixture of increased taxes to fund rehabilitation centers and a information campaign against it can reduce its use until a full ban is phased over a 10 year period. A ban that is not gradual could make the situation explosive and undermine the reemerging state institutions.
