|
|
- headline: Convene the elders
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A nabaddoon (peace elder) from the affected clans convenes a council.
|
|
Each party brings elders to represent them.
|
|
- headline: Establish the xeer applicable
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council confirms which xeer (customary law) provisions apply to
|
|
the case, drawing on precedent specific to the clans and situation.
|
|
- headline: Hear each party
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each side presents its account. The council questions and cross-checks
|
|
with witnesses, seeking agreement on the facts.
|
|
- headline: Negotiate compensation
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council negotiates compensation (mag) to be paid by the offending
|
|
party to the aggrieved, restoring relationship rather than imposing
|
|
punishment.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce and seal
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The elders pronounce the settlement; it is sealed with a shared meal
|
|
and acknowledged by both clans, binding them to peace.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A dispute is resolved through negotiated compensation that restores
|
|
relationship between clans, with both bound to the outcome.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Xeer is restorative, not punitive. The compensation is not a fine to the
|
|
state but a transfer that repairs relationship. The shared meal seals
|
|
the peace. |
