Thank you for saying this. You asked “Where did it all go wrong?” I think Dahr Jamail at your organization knows the answer, why don’t you talk to him?

The #tags or the attention the mainstream media houses give are only but an indication of what the real passion of this 21st century is- servitude. The people around the world are basically held bondage by their own desires and are passionate in that, and not by the compassion for the affliction of others, in this case the famished Somalis. However, God will ask each of us some day in the hereafter, “Where were you yourself?’. I also beleive God is testing whether the Somalis will endure these maladies with fortitude or they will cry to the world and supplicate to them, we seem to have chosen the latter. We have failed the test, me thinks, but I would like to tell the people of Somalia, whose homogeny I identify with that, “WAA LA DOOGI YAAN LADACAROONIN” meaning that “there is prosperity after adversity, don’t despair”. Let us also show compassion for ourselves whilst least expecting outside help or the world to trend our afflictions for it is obvious that we can no more explain a compassion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.

The main solution should be; ‘teach a person how to fish instead of giving him a fish’, its time that development agencies and people be patient and teach these mostly nomadic people to embrace agriculture especially towards drought resistant crops. Secondly, the role of IGAD; the main regional bloc, should be enhanced in promoting regional co operation noting that this affects the whole region.

But tears won’t help. You 100% correct. I’m going to do something about this – prayer won’t help – action will!

We are still just spectators. It is those inside that context who most benefit from the distributed news and updates.
This whole incident was amazing, you couldn’t create fiction this riveting.
