I think part of it is political leadership. It takes a certain amount of audacity to insert yourself into conflicts where the immediate interests of Canada are not so apparent. There's a generalized interest that we have.
The Norwegians have done that. They've become involved. You might ask, why should the Norwegians get involved in some of the places they have?
So I think we really need to understand that it requires strong leadership at the top to get involved in diplomacy that has the potential of becoming a high-profile activity.
It means working in a catalytic fashion, more often than not, rather than in a direct mediating role, for example, in the sub-Saharan conflicts, such as in Zimbabwe.
Somalia is hardly a conflict-prevention situation, but it is devoid of any credible attempt at diplomacy to resolve that conflict currently. Canada has a diaspora of a large Somali community here, which creates some of the problems that Fen has been talking about. But I think if you understand your role as being catalytic and facilitative in getting the regional actors involved, getting representatives of the diverse communities within Somalia involved, and creating tables to which people can come, I think that's the kind of activity we're talking about.
Of course, Fen just made a number of points about the more detailed and skills-based kinds of activities we can undertake.
