Vouch for a friend in need

In the mean time e-mail letters, petitions, comments, character vouch, writer's outrage should be posted on Abdi-Noor as messages until he gives us an address to send regular mail postcards and letters.
But we cannot forget also Somalia...

Dedicate to the Somali Poet and Author Abdi-Noor Mohamed


Who will not vouch for a dear friend
that’s inside Abdi-Noor Mohamed
from Somalia that very gentle man
seeking refuge among the gentlemen
that never suffered hunger or wars,
and never been stabbed by a bayonet.

For being just a dark skinned writer
which criticized a government puppet
that let his own people die in sickness
they want him to take back all he said,
to come back to their own made chaos,
because they have his family as hostage.

In Sweden Abdi-Noor is now, waiting,
for someone to understand and regret
a silence from a noble country confronted
with many thousands Somali slaughtered,
because there is no gushing oil, just a
destitute humanity facing their final sunset.

We, that so-called “democratic” people,
how can so rapidly and off hand forget
the sorrow that filled our collective hearts
when those Auschwitz horror doors opened,
get so tangled in that bureaucratic red tape
that we are willing to send a man to his death?

Mr. Abdi-Noor Mohamed is not only a friend
but a human being in Sweden seeking respect.

Red tape... always red tape... how many innocent people, including children, have died because of red tape...
It makes me want to cry...

Georg I can't thank you enough for taking the lead inrequesting help for our friend Abdi-Noor Mohammed. If Somalia had oil all would be rushing to his aid and that of his people. The truth does not always set you free many of us have been mis-informed. My prayers go out for him, his family, you and all who remember that humanity is priceless in itself. Luvya, Mikii

This poem fills my heart with tons of hope and I thank you dear George Mateos for your concern and support. I also thank all AD members for their sympathetic understanding to the situation of a poet who is seeking asylum in a peaceful country. I miss my family and I hope God will answer your prayers and I shall get reunited with them soon.

Too vouch for a "friend" online
Maybe for most well and fine
But as for me it would be like co-signing a loan
From someone I have only talked to on the phone...

Sorry Georg, but limits must be set and I am sure Mr. Mohamed would understand, or so I hope...Ed

Georg,

Abdi-Noor is a Poet. A Peacemaker. A Father, without his family - we must help him. He is my brother. Who would ignore a brother in need? Count me in.

Well done, Brother! It's not just that he is one of "ours," an AD friend; it is more that he is a great and gentle man facing a horrific home-situation, and we can help - like you are doing, Georg.
