Cowke Posted December 30, 2009 Somalia:Racism at the Arab League UK-LONDON-Mareeg.com-Somalia was a member of the Arab League since 1974, the same year Palestinian PLO joined the League. Somalia is devastated by civil war since 1990’s and continues to hemorrhage. More than 750,000 Somalis lost their lives and more than 3.3 millions are homeless. The organization’s 21 Arab nations with the exception of Djibouti have failed to attempt a single reconciliation effort. The United Nations, European Union, African Union and United States made some effort to get the best possible solution given the circumstances which culminated to the election of moderate leader Sharif Ahmed as president and transitional federal government was formed 9 months ago. To make this effort work, the UN nations appealed financial support and help from donor nations including the Arab League which includes the oil riche nations of Gulf Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, U.A.E, Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria, Libya and other influential Arab states such as Egypt . So far the Arab League has delivered only one (1) Million US dollars for the African Union Mission in Somalia and zero dollars for the Somali Transitional Federal Government. Compare this disparity with the money provided by Arab League to rebuilding Gaza in Palestine for the recent Israeli devastation. Saudi Arabia provided one (1) Billion US dollars, Qatar $250 million and Algeria $100 million in addition to more than 7.5 Billion Euros pledged for Palestine by the members of the Arab League and European Union countries. The Arab League provided ten times more relief and donation to Sri Lankan Tamil a Buddhist nation with no connections to the Arab League than Somalia. In fact some Arab League members are being recently discovered to have indirectly funneling money to the Somali Al-Shabab and Hisbul Islam through Eritrea, a terrorist organization toppling the Somali transitional government who carried out the recent suicide bombing that four government ministers and students were killed. What crime does Somalia committed to deserve such an utter neglect from the Arab League? Why are some Arab League members working against the current Transitional Federal Government when they have failed to organize and sponsor a single reconciliation conference? Why Somali citizens in rich Gulf Arab countries are being deported to war torn country while it is against all international convention relating to the status of refugees. Why the Arab League are not transporting relief aid to millions of displaced refugees suffering in subhuman conditions in Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemeni borders. Where is the relief effort of the Arab League? Why African Union troops are on the ground in Somalia but there is no single Arab country willing to support? Is the Arab League waiting a call from Obama or Hillary Clinton to respond? The inaction of the Arab League and member countries is shocking when it comes to Somalia a member country that the League can have a positive effect with very little financial support and political support. Somalia has done its share to assist the mission of the Arab League over decades. It is high time for the Arab League to do some soul searching and re-evaluate its conduct and absence in the Somali conflict or is it Somalis are too dark to be a member of this exclusive club?

Cowke Posted December 30, 2009 Ibtisam, if everyone had the attitude you have their would be alot of uncompassionate fools running around the world. Remember Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him actually came to combat that and teach you something called "helping those who are in a time of need" because 1 day you might need help. Anyways very harsh and silly response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malika Posted December 30, 2009 Ibti, they owe us the support,illahi baa xoloo siyee..Charity,donations to the poor is a wajiib to those over wealthy Arab countries.. They have decided they would not help Yemen,Sudan and Somalia until they sort themselves out..aka until uncle Sam gives them the go ahead. It is sad they neglect the needy due to politics,building masjiids,schools,hospital,wells surely shouldn't be based on what the UN,EU,US say of these countries. They can stay with their money..uff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted December 30, 2009 Charity and donation from the goodness of their self, not forced, coerced and bulled into. Malika they don't owe us nothing and you are confusing things, sadaqa is wajiib on them to give to the poor/ less wealthy which we are included in, as well as their own citizens. Donations are out of choice and cannot be demanded or enforced. I do understand compassionate and humanity, trust me I am all for, but others can only help us if we help ourselves, otherwise it is a waste of money, time and effort. Nor can it be demanded like they are our personal banks and they are safe keeping our dosh. Clearly they are under no obligation to help us, no one is. It is like a man who burns his house and then demands people keep contributing to the building of his new home just so he can burn it again. Uff. There is nothing worse than entitled/demanded charity case. It is not for them to build OUR masjiids,schools,hospital,wells, lets get the basic right and stop killing each other- maybe then people won't look at us like we are a bunch of animals. P.s. The hypocrisy of it, Somalis are so full of hate for each other than we continue to destroy and consume ourselves with hate, yet we feel like we can preach on love, compassionate and humanity. Really? Selective Islam :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
