Ayrotv.com Aloog-Our history is rich and resonates through the centuries. Our forefathers were warriors who fought bravely for their freedom, existence, land, and race against invaders. They are remembered for their intelligence, knowledge, and hospitality. Our regions are abundant with everything we need to succeed.
Today, I reach out to the Gadaboursi community with a series of questions that merit reflection and action:
1. To Gadaboursi Politicians: You were elected to represent your regions and your people, with the promise to advocate for their fair share of the nation. However, it often appears that your actions serve personal interests rather than those of your constituents. You are powerless to do whatsoever for your region while others develop their regions. Reflect on this: Where is your dignity and pride? What legacy do you wish to leave behind for the future of your people?
2. To the Gadaboursi Elders: While you seem content with your titles and are quick to rally your sub-clan militias in internal disputes, you often remain silent when external tribes violate the rights of your people. What kind of leaders are you? If your people become subjugated and your land taken, who will you lead? Do you not feel ashamed when your Ugaas is prevented from meeting his people? Where is your dignity?
3. To the Gadaboursi Youth: As the future leaders of Gadaboursi, you are the most affected by the injustices around you. My question is simple: What are you waiting for to rise up? Who do you expect to save you, your families, and your lands? Look around and witness how other tribes stand proud and unyielding. Remember, revolutions begin with the youth.
4. To the Gadaboursi Women: Many of you are struggling to cope with daily life, witnessing the injustices faced by your loved ones. Yet, some of you continue to blame them. Gadaboursi men need your support; they rely on you. Why not encourage them instead of bringing them down? What steps can you take to uplift and support your men in this struggle?
These questions demand serious contemplation. Each of you must take the time to reflect on your roles and the situation at hand.
It is now or never. The Gadaboursi community stands at a crossroads: either we free ourselves and build a bright future for our children or bury our heads in the sand and become the subject of ridicule.
Let us unite in thought and action for the betterment of our community.
