Barak Allaahu fiikum, wa shukran limucaawimaatikum!
Nice to see Saudi donation channelled thru the OIC is reaching Somaliland. Looks like SLD
will look forward to the AL/OIC showing more attentions not only in donations but bigger
development investments and facilitating the SLD issue to become a full member of the UN
and AL/OIC.
Cheers.
Mashallah.
Thank you Muslim nations and brothers and sisters. We thank all those who took part in making this vital medical assistance possible…Somaliland is desperately poor and needs all help it can get from its Muslim brethren.
Nice to see you Kayse that you have said something positive at last. Congratulations!!
Kayse shame on you..who said Somaliland is desperately poor. Again shame on you once more.
Somaliland is Rich virgin nation needing good governance and developments. Donations or
no donations, Somaliland fully undeveloped if nothing else has abundant livestocks of all sorts of
animals husbandary and agricultural resources. What Somaliland is lacking is industrial developments and realization of that important faculty is now within reach God willing.
Cheers.
As much as I appreciate their help, I hope that it has not come with Wahabism attached to it.
My friend the KSR are the custodians of the holy land of the Contemporary Saudi Arabian dynasty.
For the AL/OIC the Saudis play major roles in collaboration with the International Super powers.
In these times of the Arab Spring Revelutions, it would appear that dramatic changes are taking place throughout the AL/OIC and probably throughout the entire global villages of all nations.
Ofcourse God knows better. My point is, with these dramatic changes, the Saudis themselves will
be exploring ways to face such short falls on their previous status quo functionalities. So let's
all look forward to a newly improved understanding relationships ..Muslims or non-muslims.
Btw if you are not interested in the Wahabism Doctrine nobody is going to force it down your throat.
We are born free and entitled to a free World if you really know your way around.
Cheers.
No disrespect but I do not really understand what you are talking about Mohamed Cheers. Sorry!
Thanking for everything good especially the people is must to every Muselms in accordance with Islamic teachings.
But there are many short comings from both KSR & OIC when it comes to Somaliland humanitarian assistance in accordance with OIC charts and bylaw of this Politically Dominated Islamic Organization which totally diverted negatively from its basic missions to towards Islamic countries.

Bit Info about Sheikh Saleh Bin Salem Bin Mahfouz, he is Yemeni ( Hadramoot ) originally and one of the late sons of prominent businessman who was solely Somaliland Livestock importer to Saudi Arabia since early 50's till the collapse of what us to call Somalia and one of the wealthiest man in KSA in 1970's closely corroborator with ruling family ( King Abdulaziz). Former founder of the biggest commercial bank (was only correspondent bank that opening the all L/Cs for whole livestock importation orders.)
Hence, image the decades of fortunes and wealthy he gained from monopolistic trading of our natural source. Also OIC is one to generously highly paid to its employees , so this is bean nuts and symbolic show offs and less than the salary of Mr. Ibrahim Ali Hussein!
Micro-donations are a form of charitable donations that are small in the donated amount. In the past, they have been used most effectively by companies collecting spare change at registers and checkouts.
The origin of the first hedge fund is uncertain. During the US bull market of the 1920s, there were numerous such vehicles offered privately to wealthy investors. Of that period, the best known today owing to the legacies of one of its founders was the Graham-Newman Partnership founded by Benjamin Graham and Jerry Newman
