For Immediate Release, November 23, 2006
As scheduled, the 2006 NSPU annual conference on Peace and Unity will take place on December 1-2 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) located at 1800 K Street, NW, Washington DC. The evening of December 1st would be only for Pre-registration and the main conference would take place on December 2, 2006.
The organizing committee herewith releases the official Draft version of its program (see below) and all invited panelists. In addition to the distinguished panelists, NSPU is delighted to have invited prominent dignitaries as well as pro-unity organizations and a cross-section of the Somali Diaspora community in North American.
For the convenience of out-of town panelists and participants, the organizing committee recommends Hyatt Regency Crystal City at 2799 Jefferson Davis Hwy Arlington, VA 22202 USA which is about three metro stops from the conference site (Foggy Bottom Stop). For those who wish to drive to the conference venue, a cautionary note is that parking in the vicinity is prohibitively expensive.
For further information on other accommodations, please contact NSPU’s communication coordinator at kmhamud9@yahoo.com, or call directly Hyatt Regency Crystal City at (703)418 1234.
Please stay tuned. In the meantime, if you wish to register, donate towards conference expenses, or follow the progress of the over-all conference planning activities please check our website: http://www.somaliunity.org/index2.htm

NORTHERN SOMALIS FOR PEACE & UNITY (NSPU) is a grass-roots Somali advocacy organization with Branches in Somalia, United Arab Emirates, Canada, USA, UK, Sweden, and South Africa. We are dedicated to the promotion of peace and unity among the long suffering people of Somalia. We believe the ‘Somalia problem’ can only be dealt with within the framework of a holistic strategic approach aimed at the empowerment of a central government to rebuild national democratic governance institutions and restore law and order throughout the country. NSPU believes the balkanization of Somalia is a recipe for future conflicts and a bleak future for the Somali people, who are bonded by ethnicity, language, religion, and shared centuries-old culture and traditions.
