Dhubad. Posted August 3, 2007 Good job indeed. If we can't go there and help our brothers and sisters who are slaughtered everyday left and right, what we can do to help is to write to our local MPs as well as the media to bring up these atrocities caused by the Ethiopians against an armed civilians. Might Allah help them Inshallah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peacenow Posted August 3, 2007 Good job, I wonder where is the global islamic ummah? The 'brotherhood'. Not a word of support from them. Could it possibly be because Somalis are black, that they are 2nd tier or god forbid 3rd class muslims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted August 3, 2007 Could it be the Ummah has never heard of Ocadenia?A well known Afro-Canadian Sheikh in Canaa try to start a campaign in Canada calling for unity and solidarity. Guess what?Somalis and came told him "No Sheikh you are wrong, this is qabil and our qabil lives over bla bla". Secondly Mr peacenow, people from the global Ummah are doing some dedicated work in Ocadena and inside Somalia republic such as: A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR A DISABLED PERSON IN WAR-TORN SOMALIA Jeedley Haji Aden is the mother of a disabled girl, and she has great difficulty taking her from place to place in the city of Mogadishu. Somalia’s capital is currently the scene of constant fighting between a US-backed Somali army and rebel religious forces. “My daughter has never had the chance to walk or stand on her feet,” said Jeedley. “She was born with this disability.” Hawo is 15 years old now, and her mother calls her neighbors for help whenever she wants to move her daughter from out of the house. Sometimes she has to physically to drag her, when there is no one around to help her. “The worst moment is when she is sick, and I have to carry her to the toilet, or to the hospital,” Jeedley explained. “Of course, my neighbours are helpful and I am grateful to them. But there are times when they get tired of my endless yelling for help.” Jeedley is a mother of five children in all, including Hawo. Their father died four years ago and now the family lives in one of Mogadishu’s camps for internally displaced persons, where they subsisted on very little. Her fortunes soon took a turn for the better. “All my dismay suddenly disappeared when I visited the Muslim Aid office and explained the situation my daughter was in,” said Jeedley. “We were given the greatest present, a wheelchair! It might seem to be a simple thing to you, but it is a great relief to my daughter and I, Alhamdulillah.” Ahmed Muhummed, the country director of Muslim Aid Somalia, said that it was the least the UK-based relief agency could do for Jeedley. “She is a good woman who has suffered a lot of hardships. I am very happy that we were in a position to assist her in this way.” Jeedley was ecstatic about the assistance she received from Muslim Aid. “My daughter is independent now, and is able to visit even the nearby houses. Do you know what makes me happy? It is when a neighbour tells me that my daughter visited them at their house.” (ENDS) For more information and photos, please contact Michael Siva at 0207-377-4220 or media@muslimaid.org http://ramadan.muslimaid.org/event.asp?EventID=82&Refresh=8%2F3%2F2007+10%3A34%3A25+PM Perhaps you only take notice when it is white jewish males allegedly helping Somalis?Or perhaps would be amazedto know that Muslim charity workers including Arabs are the forefront of helping Black Sudanese Christian?
