Celebrating with Fifteenth Yemeni reunification anniversary with a
divinity fate of a refugee life
When the
protection, honor, dignity, comfort, and maintenance are threatened,
by instability, civil wars, and disintegrations. it will socially
and spiritually important for every human being to seek any
available alternatives, So as to secure his/her humanitarian needs
and seek whenever or wherever a peripatetic journey leads, even if
you refuge your life in search of protection and life.
Although
when we talk about any given instability that causes the people
emigrate from their own country, it has commonly caused what the
immigrating people decided. Because of the events, draw its meaning
from its context. That do not need any further explanations but the
original identity and reflection of the potential prospects may draw
every clear picture, in to the minds of the every experienced
person. If, being a refugee is not what does the refugees determine
themselves, why we did not get a plausible solutions about why
become a refugee? At this field of life and my past fifteen years
experience of refugee life, I Have not spared to lodge the
conscience of logistics, which any given person like this situation
may face. They may include; a huge personal disorganization from the
results of the controversial period, and the previous life in
comparing with the newly adopted atmosphere. That would drastically
change attitudes that disrupt the functional relations with your
self on one hand and the relationships of the society whether
refugee of others on the other.
The most
of my past ten-year's refugee life, I have been changed drastically
in my attitudes to a degree that interferes with my performance and
inhabited sometimes my emotions. That conflict of rules and the
instability to cope with the new roles for former life situations
tends strongly to forsake your original rules at home towards the
overwhelming balance of the new roles inside the first asylum
country. Plunged me emotionally and physically a crisis of disorder
that destabilize my state of wellbeing. Some times, you may think
that the situation may worse than in the middle of clan rivalries,
and the violent conflicts which while fleeing I have been wishing at
least not to see it again.
As a
student when the civil war had erupted in Mogadishu, I have been
thinking how that a war breaks one time without any alarming sound
from the sides of conflict. I have personally reserved how and to
what extent that a government would surmount for what it is calling
the "few rebels and few bandits" ideologically, as it was
broadcasting from the government held media.
Later than
sooner, within 26 the government have met a crashing defeat from the
"few bandits" and should the poets would call a victory?
Nevertheless, An everlasting violent conflict had took its way
until Somalia had been imposed for a deathly peace. The credulous
ideology was overbearingly measuring the results and reassuring its
sustainability in the very basis of "few bandits and few rebel
elements."
The
compromise language and the bitter decision of stepping forward
whatever it costs had accumulated for me a wide experiences and
various decision, which are to be taken at the times of war. in 1991
the world have been awakened by a living skeletons that, the
television screens were broadcasting. I was not aware how the
interfering forces have given a clear explanation for the
justifications of their military interference. Moreover, how they
would implement the (mercy mission)? And when they finish how should
they withdrawn??? What did the mass starvations reasoned?. They said
that the whims of nature were not the primary cause of the disaster,
but the hovering and warring factions are the reason behind this
disaster. Which they said must be challenged at least.
As the end
the international community have accomplished its mission and pulled
out in March 1995 after realizing that nobody can bring solution
outside whatever its degree of goodwill is!!. They have only done
and created some challenges in some dominance and maintained balance
between the powerful warlords! which as they reasoned again will at
least guarantee that the starvations not to return back. The cat
and mouse games have begun again. but, now the new challenged
entities. a hypothetical ideologies have reached in its highest
peak, after the late warlord Mohamed Farah Aided have been elected
as a president by his henchmen. that had increased the prospects of
new violent conflicts, chauvinism and etc with the knowledge of the
new challenges, that had not only destabilized outside Mogadishu,
were, which more than 15 nightmarish presidents were existed But,
also inside Mogadishu were more than 3 presidents were existed. The
peace badge had been indubitably intruded into a violent conflict
however, without a realistic factor does infrequently bring durable
solution, hence it took the life of many innocent people in inside
Mogadishu and outside Mogadishu, this had begun the highest influx
of refugee from Mogadishu. However, the plausible, rationale,
and objectiveness have been escaped by any given warlord, thereafter
I have begun to flee and entered in Yemen where I have experienced
some very tough moments in my life, I can not conclude in one
article or more.
On the
other hand, in Yemen, the Somalia community is the biggest community
in Yemen, and unfortunately, there is no still a united Somali
community, which works the interests of Somali community, that may
have some various explanations. First, the Somali people have
detested any organizational framework or other affiliate for it was
the reason behind the destruction of their country which tribal and
political organizations have overthrown the former government
without any clear program. Moreover, how it is easy to be targeted
the given organizations as a tribal or regional name whatever it
works or not the good of the people.
Second,
when it is heard that a Somali community organization is being
formed, every incoherent and incompetent individual is taking his
equipment to go there and every other party or tribe would send
their incompetent and incoherent person to partake the destruction
and opposition of the organization if not seen his ambitions.
Third, if
a community organization is announced that it will be established,
it is a reality that it will disintegrate of the little remaining
unity between the Somalis. Also The current turmoil in Somalia has a
wide impact on every Somalia immigrant around the world.
surprisingly it will be very hard to cure the patient (Somalia)
while it will worsen its situation if he is given the drug!!!!!!!!!
Upon
returning the title of the article, most of my life in Yemen have
been evaluated for many sides not only my status of being a refugee
or the so-called (Prima facie) because of the 'wait and see'
phenomena. the remonstration abainst I have neither seen nor heard
a Somalia refugee which is loudly rejoicing or celebrating with the
Yemeni people in this very expensive and beloved day to the most of
Yemeni people! the reason is we don’t have as a human being the
rights and obligations to celebrate with others or to celebrate our
own! Hence, we could not afford to say something about this
prominent incident in 22 may 1990 about the Yemeni reunification
day, which is when the Yemeni people have reunified while we Somali
people have disintegrated! From only after seven months from that
reunification date we have disintegrated in January 1991!
Also the
celebrations were different between us, But, as the Yemeni people
have been celebrating, like; a huge fireworks (which some of us had
begun to flee thinking that another free for all war had begun in
the host country). (As every huge sound may resemble to us as the
angry artillery fire which is eating every thing)…… we have
celebrated silently, blaming each other, if not almost blaming some
of us.
nevertheless, I have some times saw that a militiaman is invited
to participate this huge celebrations which was manufactured by
the ambitions and the conscience of a great man and a great people.
Who had worked hard so as to write their people a history, a Dignity
and an honor. In the meantime, the worst thing is when the
(so-called Somali representative) have sat amongst the dignitaries,
guests of the honorable host country, as a man of national country
representative. Which represents the great nations that are led well
and to the best? The representing member of Somalia knows well that
he represents the Maids, house cleaners, car washers and stateless
refugee, which lives the generosity of the host country (Yemen) and
the international community. if Actually the conscience was working
and the bride of honor is functioning he doesn’t show before
building his nation in a celebrations that are protected and cared
by others. On the other hand, he meets with the poor and the
destitute Somalia community in Sana'a or in Aden; they (Somali
representatives) will assertively utter every senseless words. That
gives you how the situation in home is exacerbating, under the
conspiracy of those ministers turned ruthless warlords.and now we
are hearing the news which about the expected visit of the warlord
ot the warlords the president of So called TFG that is still
rovering around the world begging and collecting armaments in the
country that the somalis are most poorest refugee around the world.
However I
have been witnessing for that time in Yemen a very constructive
developments for many sectors, but I have never witnessed any
physical and spiritual development in the lives of the Yemeni
society, which most of them resembles to our tribal and nomadic
society.
That had
reminded me how the situation is still very complex, and after those
many years. How, our fellow Yemenis are on their beginning way to a
very complete and extensive self-development. Because of their
intelligentsia towards handling day-to-day experiences were very
admonishingly in wrong and class based ways of things that needs for
the deep and strong development of the educational sector which is
the most important sector that can change the culture of primitive
society to a modern society.
Eventually
being a refugee is something, which happens without some one's
knowledge and admiration, but develops many areas like a poor past
and a critical present, which both makes the future of any
civilization around the world. Therefore, If I am asked how the
refugee life looks like or is? It will very hard for me to get the
real answer, while the refugee life has more than one answer.
Moreover, giving the answer, which you prefer, could not get the
chance to come out! Because of it’s a life that will offer you to
get into a seemingly endless nightmare, from traumatic past,
precarious present fate and dimly lighted future, until it becomes
open-ended that only god knows where its solution would be
generated.
