Humanitarism or publicity stunt?

Post by samadoon-waaxid »

A Canadian woman returns to Somalia to help fight the devastating famine plaguing the African nation,

despite having previously been held prisoner in the country for 460 agonizing days.

What if she was being treated like a Queen all of the 460 days? What if she got impregnated and she left her child in Somalia, only to return under the pretext of "Humanatarism"?

:roll: Please. I also saw her on the Tele. The Qaaxbooh wants a Farah husband. I think she suffers from the stockholm syndrome.

(Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a real paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors; sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of kindness)


:roll: Kill the love. she wants a Farah gu.s. uuufff :x :roll:

there is something fishy about this chick.in the first place,she landed in Moqdisho without any protection,previous arrangement or journalistic assigment and being abducted was a self fulfilling prophecy then she founded a scholarship for 4 somali women after she got released and now here she is bk to xamar.that is indeed a good recipe for a best selling book and a blockbuster movie.if she is in it for the fame,she is indeed on the right track

Trust me, she wants to become the wife/lover of a Pirate leader. She knows that African men, tend to fall for White chicks and landing a Multi-Millionaire Somali Pirate Tycoon, who has no Official Documents to live in Europe, America or Canada. It's a win-win situation for her.

I think it is humanitarian.There was an Australian guy kidnapped with her and he hasn't though about Somalia once since being released. This lady met with a lot of Somali communities in Canada and had an active interest in helping Somalis in Canada and setting up a fund for women in Somalia to go to school and contribute to societies. Besides suppose she was after publicity stunt, would that matter to us still if she because of her 14K people got fed and 6 Somali women are going through college?

of course it does matter,she is already working on her book and the last thing I wanna see is her in my university book store telling bunch of made up mumbo jumbo stories about how inhuman her somali captives were and giving us more bad press.Her container load of food is much needed and appreciated of course(and its 14000 meals,not 14000 people.that part of the report was misleading) but Apparently she is already getting used to B.Sing "i was thinking about what kinda of programs I'm gonna create for these kids when I get out of here" kulaha.what kinda captive things about that B.S while they are hostages bal? :lol:
I just hope she doesnt turn to another charlatan, mini Greg Mortenson and make a biz out of the misery of our people and that she is sincere about it

I don't even know why it matters if she writes a book and gets money of it. It is her kidnapping, her story, her life, and her experience. Who cares if it is Somalis or Columbia rebels that did it, as long as it happened to her and she has ownership of detailing her experience? Really sxb just because you share ethnicity with the kidnappers doesn't give you or any one of us to remark on how she can or can't use her personal experience.

She was kidnapped for 12 months and I remember following news of her ordeal. Who is to say she wasn't really feeling sorry for her plight but as well as being disappointed in the circumstance in the country that led to it? The girl is a freelance journalist and going to Somalia doesn't pay much even for freelance journalism. Just from that I judge her as the kind of person who would think about helping the country even while kidnapped in it.

This lady is genuine, you don't know about her. she met with Somali Canadians many times and agreed to help Somali women and kids, because a Somali woman tried to safe her and take her to the mosque, endangering her life for her.
