Garad Jama Garad Ali was crowned in Las Anod City in front of a huge number of people including high-ranking politicians from Somali Transitional Government, Somaliland and Puntland. The event brought together, for the first time after the collapse of Somali Government in 1991, a large number of politically diverse politicians such as former Somali Prime Minister Ali Khalif Galaydh, the President and the Vice-President of Puntland. Though the tension was high, the coronation of one of the most senior and powerful traditional leaders of Somalia proceeded peacefully.
The Coronation
The coronation took place May 22, 2006, in Geedo-Qarsay Valley, near Las Anod, where Garad Jama's father (Garad Ali aka Ali Garad jama), his uncle (Garad Abdiqani Garad Jama), and his grandfather (Garad Jama) were crowned. The Las-Anoders showed their well-known hospitality to the thousands of guests who attended "the once of a lifetime" ceremony. The audiences were entertained with well-trained horses that were decorated by damasks and embroidery, which manifested the traditional craftsmen and women's hard work based on the rich Somali cultural heritage.
At 10 o'clock the milk was poured into the Garad. Milk is a symbol of peace and eternal prosperity; this act is true to the equilibrium of the virtues of the traditional culture.

Reconciliation and rebuilding Somalia
The last two decades, Somalia was in anarchy. Government services ceased especially judiciary, law, order and social services. In that lawless state, Somali people turn to their traditional leaders and traditional system for mending the peace and social harmony. Although, the traditional leaders were unprepared to shoulder all the problems created by the chaos, still practicing traditional ways decreased conflicts between clans especially parts of the country where traditional system practiced. Traditional leaders also succeeded creating local administration that extends social services to the community. he last two decades, Somalia was in anarchy.
