  • Living in a tin shack by the roadside, Abdullahi is isolated, barely washed and poorly fed. For the last 17 years he has been chained up by his own family in Hargeisa, Somaliland.

    Abdullah in chain ,a wonderful person,holds peaceful lake in his brain, lock by tender protected heart that made his soul unable to move to a peaceful direction due to surrounding and people.The chain is parental worry like one would do to a pet kitten. He just need a simple self created occupation like selling drinking water street and talk to Allah swt through reading(reprogrmming the brain) the Al Quran, near his home where visiual guidance from his wonderful Parent to balance their worry. This action can re establised Dignity to any form of desease of the mind. Abbullah is just protecting his brain with full humble acceptance from both parent. Maryan write to me, I would love to help. I am writing from Singapore with Somalia in my heart cos I so love her coast line.

      @ToND1Ne Před 9 lety +3

      I agree about these bogus religious 'treatments' such beliefs are every bit as delusional as the ravings of those suffering from psychosis. Whilst we're being smug westerners, we must remember that the west is also rife with bogus treatments from 'laying on of hands' to Christian exorcisms & 'prayer circles'.
      If we look honestly at our streets, many mentally ill people in our societies are left to wander aimlessly, despised, ignored, homeless, without even the most basic treatment & lacking even crude shelters. In many of our cities, winters are brutal & every year, homeless Schizophrenics freeze to death on our park benches.
