My heart goes to those relatives of the 152 passengers who received the call on June 30th, heard through the media, through friends that something went wrong. I imagine that these people days started just like mine not even worrying abt seeing their wives, sisters, sons, fathers, future wives, fiances ..they probably thought that they would see them soon, probably envied them for leaving the busy life of an Imigrant in France.Probably thought that they had it good, sun playa in their home island.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females

Looking at these pictures of these beautiful Comorian people I'm touched by their unity in this pain that their community shared. I am touched by their faith, yesterday as I was watching the Michael Jackson Memorial a few words by Stevie Wonder touched my soul when he said that even though we may have thought we needed him , the Lord probably needed him even more.
These people didn't die in vain, these angels brought out international attention , my attention , your attention our attention on airplane security, in fact since 2004 the authorities were notified abt the Yemania Airline alarming conditions , I understand their frustration, their anger but now we know this will help save the lives of many other people in the future.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females

My heart goes out to the diplomat whose wife and kids perished, my heart goes out to Baya the sole 12 years old survivor who had to hold on to a piece of the airplane for 13 hours alone, if that's not internal strength and belief, my heart goes out to her, it won' t be living with the memories of the voice around her, the loss of her mother, people's attention, remenbering that she left with 152 other people and that she came back to Paris alone.
My heart goes to mothers who worked hard their entire lives for their children,and today nothing, the sweat, the laughters, the ambitions ..nothing
My heart goes out to these children who won't have the chance to experience more of life, this is the reason why we have to make each day the choice to live better....

My heart goes out to you Comores Island!

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females


Allahu Akbar!
