Ibtisam Posted November 16, 2009 All credit to this reporter for highlighting the plight of our children. This sort of suffering are common across the country. I think the Somalilanders in the west spend too much time showing people pictures of those who are fortunate enough to have blush villas and acres of land. Instead of bragging and pushing underground those who are weak. Part of progress and development is dragging everyone forward, not the rich getting richer and the poor forgotten. This is one of the reasons I could never support any political entity that spends so much time chasing approval outside of its borders- while it’s most vulnerable slowly starve. Until we deal with our most vulnerable with mercy and love, and try to raise the oppression that we currently ignore, Allah will also ignore us and keep us humiliated. Subxanallah recognition will not change the lifes of these people, humanity and common support at a community level is what is needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiil Cusub Posted November 16, 2009 Thnks Mr Red sharing us with this informative/ touching video rapport. This is one of the reasons I could never support any political entity that spends so much time chasing approval outside of its borders- while it’s most vulnerable slowly starve. Dear Ibt if Somaliland doesn't spend money and time to show that they are different from that war thorn Somalia, was not possible to see this video rapport and was not possible that international NGO's dair to go that place this is Chick and egg clue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted November 17, 2009 ^^^You missed the point wiil cusub. The point is that they are NOT so different, and it was not so long ago that they too were in the middle of war. It is the impacts of war that they are dealing with, just like somalia, just on a smaller scale. As for NGOs- It is not NGOs job to do the work and provide services to the population. It is ridiculous to suggest that SL job is to highlight that they are different and then NGOs will flog to solve their problems for them. It would be appropriate to show that they are not the sameby raising the standard of living for people who can’t afford to do it on their own, then they won’t have to make so much noise- it would just be a case of the evidence speaks for itself. Right now they are just trying to capitalize on the fortune of people who did it on their own by pointing to four story blocks and hotels. How about that for chick and egg clue. :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you believe that Somaliland is NOT different that I MISSED INDEED THE POING and we can build bridge to agree. And to talk about small wars how many tribal wars had happened in Somalia in 60's and 70's may be time to compare that how many happened last 15 years in Somaliland Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
