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 />
