Can we afford not to negotiate?

The HSCF has successfully lead Hararis over the past nine years. The level of success achieved so far is commendable and we thank them for that. They have engaged in difficult negotiation processes with various host cities and made difficult decisions to uphold the rule of law. However, by virtue of its leadership status, HSCF ought to bear more responsibility and demonstrate positive attitude to reverse this needless confrontation.

On the other hand Toronto has its weight and influence on Harari interests due to its large population. It is a city that can not be easily ignored. Toronto has legitimate reason to negotiate aggressively in good faith to host events and raise funds. Toronto not only places great value on its community centre project but determined to turn this dream into reality. However, in doing so, it is wise not to disregard the purpose and benefit of HSCF. Toronto ought to bear its share of responsibility in creating favorable condition for successful negotiation and outcome by toning down.  

Both noble endeavors have purposes and benefits to our society. We must be able to overcome this challenge through civil negotiation and not let this conflict run its course.
