I look forward to the day I quit living with a fantasy of dreams and reunite with my family to taste life once again. And more importantly I wish to see my daughters arriving Sweden safely and without any harm inflicted upon them as a result of genital mutilation. They are now under threat of being cut and infibulated in the name of culture.

I also need Asha, a seven year old girl who is the niece of my wife and who had lived with us ever since she had lost her mother at the age of two and separated from her young brother whom we do not know where he lives now as the nation is torn apart by insane wars and senseless strife perpetuated by disgruntled warlords and religious extremists who have no respect for life.

Thank you dear friends at the AD. I always appreciate your kind support and understanding. Hope I will get the same from the Swedish authorities at the Embassy in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia where my family is now applying for a permission to reunite with me.

Like the heavy sound of a morning drizzle
Drops of love fell on the roof of my heart
Charmingly building fervent sound of elation
As the echo of the beat soothed me in the soul
Letting me swim in a dream of romantic delight
Till the heavy thuds awakened me from my sleep
Making me aware that I am alone in a lonely life
