A dirty tussle does take place between Aid agencies and warlords in Somalia


A Warlord Attacks

You International NGO
You raise funds on our behalf
Yet you camp in Nairobi
You stay in big hotels
You watch us from Ivory towers
You should come here to help

NGO Responds

You Ruthless Warlord
You spend huge monies every day
Yet you do not help your people
You instead give it to gunmen
They shoot Aid staff
They kill and kidnap our officers
They ask for ransom illegally
How can I come to your area?

CAN A HUNGRY CHILD UNDERSTAND THIS?

(((abdi-noor)))

*tears* shattering, devastating write--those above care nothing for those below

powerful in scope--may it shake those in high places to action for your people and your nation--you and your family are in my prayers every day

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(

God help us Abdi, for He seems to be the only mediator
who can help this situation! The suffering children, only
know their suffering. Those who witness it suffer with them.
The politics of it is beyond our understanding.This is a catch 22 situation and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

No they can't; yet, they are often wiser than we adults seem to be in our foolishness and pride.

Gilded Prisons by Linda Gould

Major League ballplayer Justin Moore is kidnapped from his own ballpark and transported to a foreign land. It might take high-level international negotiations to free him. Or maybe he will take matters into his own hands.
