CENTER FOR RECONCILIATION & HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY

CEREHRA is a Reconciliation-oriented & Human Rights watch-dog organization that has been operating in the Mandera Triangle[1] from June, 2001.

During this turbulent period CEREHRA has been registering Human Rights abuses in its coverage area, while at the same time, pulling the strings, or directly initiating and executing numerous reconciliation gestures, techniques, and conferences throughout the area.

In this period, CEREHRA also carried out conflict prevention/managements on many occasions. Most -if not all- the registrations of the Human Rights abuses, have been so hazardous to undertake and perilous to publicize.Because of the precarious situation and scary environments,

CEREHRA’s HRT: (Human Rights Team) investigators, reporters, and incident-registrars, have most of the time been operating under-cover.Unlike the HRT, the CEREHRA’s Task-forces (TF) and Conflict Prevention Experts (CPE) have been reasonably vocal to prevent the disputes to off-set conflicts in their respective areas.

CEREHRA reports its findings to the public, perpetrators of human rights violations themselves, (through proper channels when possible and safe) International Human Rights Organizations, donors,[2] (when applicable) and the relevant regional/international bodies.[1] Gedo region of Somalia, NEP of Kenya, and Liban Region of Ethiopia
