Nearly every war fought in Africa or are 3rd world countries had support from Europe or America. In terms of weapons or funding. The west uses militants to over through the government & benefits in getting cheap trade from the new rebel government. A few years down the line they condemn the same guys they put in power, call them oppressors & get rid of them all over again. Sometimes the support both sides. They also give medical aid to the civilians wounded by western supplied weapons & become heroes. Iraq has felt this, Afghanistan felt this, Liberia & the other diamond countries in north Africa. Sudan, Somalia. So Ethiopia should check them selves & the made up kingdom of Saud. Hey nanima the world is too busy arms-giving to be almsgiving.

That’s 48333 families! Not individuals. Families! Continuing with the above scenario, assuming each family consisted of 2 children and 2 adults. That brings to total number of people to 193333.

Its strange considering that the very same people REPRESENT the inequality. We need to realise that Muslims like you and I serve to perpetuate inequality in the world though our lifestyles and through our deviation from the principals set down by the Prophet (SAW)' thanks for a good post- we need to look deeper into our own lives and be prepared to face the truth! to quote a good friend:
