Press Release: 7/11 Crime Still Awaits Justice

 

Five months have passed since July 11, 2009 when four innocent civilians from Awdal were kidnapped, tortured, murdered and their bodies mutilated. The victims were travelling on the main road between Dilla and Kalabaydh in order to carry out their routine businesses.

Aging Men with Dirty Diapers

 

Ah, to be a little kid again with skinned knees that is easier to heal than broken heart.  In the golden years of childhood, we used to be ourselves and nobody else.   As kids we did things just for fun and to make us laugh.  Authenticity was an involuntary impulse in our veins. There were no false notes on our cheeks.  We used to hate rain at night and we did not like goodbyes.
