THE FIRST HOMEGROWN MEDICAL DOCTORS WILL SERVE THE NATION BY JULY 2007

Our first homegrown Medical Doctors will serve the nation by July 2007

 

 

By Noah Arre: It would be foolish to underestimate the collective efforts of any community especially if and when that community is committed to make a difference. The community I am talking here can of course be that of any kind. Bees for instance survive and make tons of honey because of its collective efforts, discipline and hard work. Tinny ants clear miles long roads to collect their food or transfer their young in the event of natural catastrophes, when their caves are destroyed.

 

 

Migrating birds fly in triangular fashion in droves to help one another overcome the force of nature. And it is certainly only through their combined efforts that they go against the deadly atmospheric pressure.

 

In addition, amazingly, in the event some or all their lead group lose strength, others instinctively take over to insure their survival and the move continues undisturbed or unbroken. In short, without their concerted efforts, migrating birds would certainly never survive. Nor would they travel across continents, vast seas and even oceans to complete their seasonal journeys and realize their innate drives!

 

Strangely enough however, on the contrary, man, the primary center of creation, often comes against nature. And in the process he may commit mistakes causing grave blunders. Half of humanity for instance, due to greed, selfishness, opportunism, love of material etc. wantonly and mercilessly pushes our world, countries or communities toward destruction. For that group, the end, achieving its goals irrespective of the consequences, justifies the means. Fortunately, the other half of humanity pulls our countries or communities back together and maintain normalcy. Hence life as we know it today goes on albeit of its occasional deadly twists and turns!

 

Alas, should all humanity cooperated and worked together to move things toward the right direction, much could and would have been realized. And had all the marvels of science and technology served mankind right, man would have realized a lot more and most of his dreams would have become true!

 

Incurable diseases including Parkinson’s diseases, Alzheimer and all other deadly and destructive ailments would probably have long time ago been wiped out of mother earth’s surface. And had the haves, in good faith contributed toward all humanitarian assistance, poverty, illiteracy, hunger and all kinds of human miseries that debilitate and mercilessly devastate most Third World people could have been abated. And in fact, all could have been wiped out off mother earth’s surface!

 

Fortunately, despite man’s indiscipline, despite the continuous tug of war between those good and those bad, achievements are made, successes continue and life moves on smoother than ever before.

 

So, it is through his superb intelligence that man masters the whole universe and tames it toward his liking. It is through his innovation that what was impossible yesterday is comfortably at his disposal today. And it is through the innovativeness of man that we are able to fly from Borama, Somaliland, for instance this morning, and have our lunch in North America the same day!

 

Unfortunately, however, Africa’s contribution toward human civilization, science and technology is minimal and the main reason is simply due to our high illiteracy rate that leads to ignorance, extreme poverty, hunger and under development.

 

Fortunately, probably realizing that fact, at the height of the Somalia downfall and demise, some Awdalians came up with a brilliant idea…. establishing a University at Amoud, Somaliland. In the eyes of those great guys and in the eyes of the whole Awdal community, only through education, Awdal could alleviate the demonizing effects of those ills. And Awdalians in every walk of life believe that, through education, all kinds of human miseries that are prevailing in their region can one day be wiped out.

 

So, today, it is wonderful to see that a little walk can go a long way. And this coming fall marks the tenth anniversary of Amoud University formation. And amazingly, the torch of hope that those few Awdalians lit late in the twentieth century magnificently glows in brilliance, greatness and intensity.

 

And come July 2007, Amoud University reaches yet another great milestone. Because it is on that day that it’s first homegrown medical doctors are graduating ready to serve their people. It is on that day, July 2007, that the Friends Of Amoud (FOA) dream becomes a reality as the new graduate medical doctors will be at work ready to save their people from all known and unknown preventable diseases!

 

And July 2007, Friends Of Amoud will have a big reason to smile. They will certainly have a reason to celebrate because thousands of Awdal’s children who often silently suffer from preventable diseases like diarrhea, will have doctors to diagnose them and probably safe their lives.

 

In addition, on that day all Awdalians will have a big reason to rejoice. And on that day, all Awdalians will have a great reason to celebrate in joy and fanfare! And it is on that day that all Awdalians will have a great reason to dance their native folkloric dances: the zeilaci, the xoog weyn, the dhaanto and the wilwile.

 

So today, dear Awdalians, it makes me proud to write this short article to congratulate all those who contributed toward that noble cause. I find it imperative to urge you, Awdalians, to accept the invitation of our University and community leaders and participate in the great ceremony to be held on that day. I find it imperative to remind you that it is important to make that event, graduation ceremony day of our first homegrown medical doctors, to be one to remember forever!

 

And I find it necessary to say, hats off to the Fathers of Amoud University! Hats off to Friends Of Amoud University! Hats off to my people and hats off to any one who contributed toward that noble national sacrifice! It is of course only through the immense sacrifices of many that the dream became a reality and it is my hope that the torch of hope lit by a few glows brighter forever!

 

But also come July 2007, it will be a black day for those who adamantly refused to confess and hence contribute toward that noble cause. It is a black day for them because, with shame and humiliation, they will have to beg Amoud University medical doctor graduates to treat their families.

 

However, dear Awdalians I find it more than ever before a must to realize that the road to success is not easy. It is a must to realize that our long journey to success is half-done. So, let us renew the Self Help Scheme invented in Awdal back in the fifties. And that is especially so since that program is what brought Amoud University to fruition. It is only through self-help scheme that we can many more successes to our home!

 

And finally dear Awdalians may I request you the following:

 

Can we, make that day “our home coming day” and celebrate with our people?

Can we make the graduation of our homegrown medical doctors to be one to remember forever?

Can we together watch the fruits of our collective work live on TVs, on cameras and on videos and together dance in joy and fanfare?

But can we again put a blue print for the next self-help scheme for which we are the pioneers of the Horn of Africa?

 

Thank you all and may Allah, the Almighty bless us all!
