Bus driver ‘stopped vehicle to pray’

The driver of the number 24 bus in Gospel Oak pulled over without warning, rolled out a fluorescent jacket as a makeshift mat and performed a five-minute prayer as passengers looked on. The engine was kept running and nobody was able to leave the bus during the incident as the driver was blocking the door.
One of the passengers who complained, Gayle Griffiths, described the incident as “bizarre and aggravating”.
“We are delayed often enough as it is in London. We live in a multicultural society but there is a time and a place for prayer and the middle of a journey with a busload of passengers is not it,” she told a newspaper.
Transport for London has apologised to all the passengers for the delay to their journey and said that the driver, who is from a Somalian background and new to his role, has been warned that his action was not appropriate.
A spokesman said: “The bus company – London General – has had a word with the driver as this is not something that should be happening.”
Muslim drivers have been reminded that they should pray during rest periods between journeys to avoid delays, he added.

Since the Somali state collapsed more than 18 years ago, the international community has struggled with the challenges of state building. While local actors in Somaliland and Puntland have achieved a working consensus on governance issues, South/Central Somalia has experienced continued disintegration.
The Africa Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center and Creative Associates are pleased to co-sponsor the unveiling of two studies on Somalia in the United States by Interpeace, and Conciliation Resources, respectively:
Peace Mapping study of local, regional and national level peace initiatives
and
Accord 21: Whose peace is it anyway? Connecting Somali and International Peacemaking
The reports provide the international community, in partnership with Somalis, with a road map for future engagement, which involves a highly participatory and inclusionary process throughout society requiring patience and a deep understanding that there are no quick fixes.
