Well, it's been 4 years of me trying to connect with the Somali leaders who declared me Boqor. Since I haven't had contact with them, this will be my final post. If anyone wants to get in touch, my cell is 971-313-1711
At today‘s High-Level financing event on the AU-led mission in Somalia #UNGA80, I recalled the longstanding 🇪🇺-🇸🇴 partnership and the need for predicable, diversified and sustainable support for @aussom_
This year…
Ramadan visits me while I am alone.
As European Muslim girl, living in a small apartment.
No family knocking on the door before Maghrib.
No mother preparing the table.
No father raising his hands in warm, comforting prayer.
I prepare my iftar in silence.
A glass of water… a few dates…
And long conversations with Allah
Sometimes I smile, remembering how Ramadan used to feel at home.
Sometimes the tears come.
Not out of weakness but longing.
To be a Muslim in an environment that does not understand you.
To lose your parents.
To be weighed down by debt.
To see doors close in your face…
And then Ramadan arrives,
reminding you that the closest door is the door of Allah.
I am not writing to complain.
I am writing to say that when faith lives in your heart,
it makes you strong even when you are alone.
But loneliness in Ramadan is heavy.
And the heart is still human.
If you come across these words,
please make a prayer for me.
And if you are able to offer support — a kind word, a share, assistance
you are not helping just a girl…
you are strengthening a heart that is trying to stand firm.
Ramadan Kareem.
Even if it comes quietly.
Even if it comes in solitude.
It still comes carrying the mercy of Allah
