What About Somalia?
Over 54,000 people are reported to have been displaced and hundreds of people are known to have died while numerous others are not accounted for. The impact of the tsunamis in some inaccessible areas in central and northeastern parts of Somalia is yet to be fully determined.
It is sad to note that perhaps as a result of the continuing chaotic political situation in Somalia (despite recent hopeful steps in the right direction), there is hardly any discernible move by the international community to come to Somalia’s aid at this important moment of its need.
Finally, the Center calls upon all people of conscience throughout the world to come to Somalia’s aid recognizing that it has also suffered the ill-effects of the devastating tsunamis. Funds and other resources needed by Somalia should be channeled through aid agencies and organizations such as the United Nations.

I was saddened to hear of the death of Alem Techale, the talented young Ethiopia athlete and fiance to Kenenisa Bekele. Alem had shown herself to be a present and future star. She was taken from us far too soon. Yet only the Creator knows why these things take place. It is fitting that our prayers go out to Alem's family and Kenenisa Bekele and his family in their tragic loss.
