Last week, Beledweyne, Hirshabelle suffered from heavy floods displacing thousands.
While the rest of the country sat around and Farmaajo was cracking jokes about this disaster, the people of Puntland immediately sprung into action raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A lot of people were a little surprised. Why would Puntland donate money to people who hate them when there were two cyclones headed our way? These people pray against us and never help us when we experience natural disasters. It didn't make any sense.
Two cyclones were headed our way and we braced ourselves for disaster. We knew that only Allah could save us. To the faithful, donating the small amount of money that we had to our enemies actually made sense, precisely because of those incoming cyclones. Any money we donate is an investment into our future because Allah will reward us for it. The fact that Puntland was first to donate and inspired many people in other regions to donate increased our rewards exponentially.
And it paid off. The disastrous cyclone that we were so afraid of turned into much needed barwaaqo.
Alhamdulillah! I would like to thank our wise culuma, volunteers, and donors for saving Puntland.
