The following relief account may seem somewhat<br />
lengthy, but it is coming deep from our hearts which<br />
are heavy with the scenes we faced in Somalia.<br />
• In August <strong>2011</strong>, a DWW delegation paid a<br />
24-hour visit to Mogadishu/Somalia with<br />
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. During this<br />
visit, we personally witnessed the crisis in<br />
the Horn <strong>of</strong> Africa. Due to the shortage <strong>of</strong><br />
time and strict security measures applied to<br />
the Prime Minister’s delegation, we could<br />
not meet up with SOYDA representative Dr.<br />
Abdiqani Sheikh Omar, although we had<br />
previously agreed to meet. However, right<br />
after my return, our delegation <strong>of</strong> three<br />
people who went to Mogadishu representing<br />
DWW had contacts with Dr. Abdiqani about<br />
the details <strong>of</strong> the <strong>FIMA</strong>/IMANA/<strong>Islamic</strong><br />
Relief joint relief efforts.<br />
• DWW, as an integral part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>FIMA</strong><br />
family, will partake with all our available<br />
