Donations Not Allowed in Somalia
This is why people find it difficult to donate, whether food or money or anything. There is never an assurance that our donations will arrive to its destination without being picked through, stolen, or denied. Apparently, in Somalia, a goodwill truck carrying food and supplies was stopped from coming into the country. The supplies have been sitting at the border for a month now.
Hungry and upset, the people of Mogadishu, Somalia ambushed a police station – a place where food and supplies are handed out. In response to the people’s anger at not having any food, the police opened fire on the group killing 5 people. Most of the area’s people have fled to other countries, most of which take advantage of the refugees by raping and killing them.
These people are starving to death and there are few ways in which we can help them, but there has to be a way. A way that we can come to together and and show that we are here for them.
Unfortunately or government will not lift a finger to help unless 1. There is a way for the politicians to profit 2. It causes an embarrassment and it is an election year. 3. There is a celebraty photo and fame seeking opportunity. Oprah and Bono will be the first in line for that.
Other than that these people are on their own.
Yea, you’re right. But I’m naive, and I still believe that our society can take back our country. We are the only ones that can force what you say into reversal and join Oprah and Bono in helping needy people. Thanks for the post.
