Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says the Islamic Republic plans to donate USD 25 million to the famine-stricken people of Somalia.

“The USD 25 million worth of goods will be sent for the famine-stricken Somalis,” Salehi said on the sidelines of the Cabinet's meeting on Sunday.

The drought and the famine it has caused in the Horn of Africa nations have affected more than 11.8 million people across Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia.

Somalia is hardest-hit by what is described as the worst drought in the Horn of Africa in 60 years.

Last week Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei donated roughly USD 20,000 to the people of Somalia.

According to the UN, it is estimated that a quarter of Somalia's population of 9.9 million are now either internally displaced or living outside the country as refugees.

The United Nations has declared famine in five regions in the drought-ravaged Somalia, warning that the international humanitarian response to the crisis has been insufficient.

Somalia has been without a functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew the country's former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

Strategically located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia remains one of the countries generating the highest number of refugees and internally displaced persons in the world.

Many countries have done that, Iran is not the first country to donate money, USA donated $105million, UK donated 42millions, for once Iran is doing something positive  rather than sending ship loads of weapons to Nigerian militant groups

Somalia is not "fertile ground for investment" so dont expect bishop oyedepo to donate a dime.missionaries invest where they expect more in return or the souls of the people in return.

besides,i think this thread should be in the islamic section.

as for the story itself,this shows again the good intention of Iran.Iran is predominantly Shia while Somalia is majority Sunni.the same with the palestinians who are also mostly Sunni,and the Iranians have tiredlessly helped them to resist occupation and zionist oppression.

this shows the strength of islamic brotherhood and also the humanitarian side of the muslims who help without expecting anything in return and only for the sake of Allah (swt).

The USA will not be in the forefront now because Somalia has no oil, can come in later and hyjack everything as if they care, I pity for Niger delta/nigeria, they ve always been waiting in the gulf of guinea to strike, just like the devil often wait and calculate before  striking( see so many life examples, movie= devils advocate and the scriptures= Allah says in the Quran that the devil and his cohorts/demons can see you from a point u cant see them, they are a sworn/determine and glaring enemy to mankind).

USA has being donating to Somalia for ages, EVEN though Somalians have being hijacking ships/boats belonging to USA and other countries. Trust me, if i were western countries i will allow those hungry animals to die of hunger. They don't worth the money.

Western Countries don't have to donate to ANY African country, donation is act of charity. African countries should feed themselves, they don't have to depend on the western countries for donation ALL the time.

thumbs up for iran, i least expected this from them because, it is not easy for a country like iran to release such substantial amount of money given the high rate of terror attacks and bombs that has been devastating the country; big thanks.

Yes African countries can afford to fend for themselves, you can't keep blaming the western countries, they don't own any African country, some African countries are busy buying luxury cars with money donated by western countries, this is one of the reasons why USA and UK withheld donation to Malawi.

Western States have nothing to offer you. they can give you thousands and expecting billions in return. they do not care about africa but oil and other natural resources.
Re: Iran Donates $25 Million To Somalia by redsun(m): 12:16pm On Aug 10, 2011
A donation with a dangerous hitch,if you ask me.

Its give and take situation, they get ur oil and u take their money, why do you expect the west to give you stuff for free?

Why can't African countries look after themselves? Always carrying begging plate around asking for donations.

First of you're an Animal. Secondly get back to secondary school and learn how to write English.
They are not worth the money, this is the reasoning of an absolute ldiot, who/what is WORTH the money? African mentality, that's why your likes never progress.
You call them animals? What are you yourself? Reason before you post shit.

Arsshole.

Your hungry brothers should go to hell with their begging plates. What happened to all the money they made from hijacking ships/boats? When will they start looking after their own? Evil wicked souls who will still kill those helping them.

Aren't u funny?

Your first reaction on this news was to whip of religious sentiments instead of facing the issue.  The truth is that what Iran did is right and commendable but should not be seen under "your" religious eye.  The country is building up their foreign policy cv and you are here shouting religion.

By the way, if every other country had decided to start when Iran started, believe me every single poor Somalian would have been dead a long time ago.  I hope u understood my point.

Well Done Iran and welcome to the commity of helpers!

I just learnt something from you now on Shia and Sunni right now. However, not everything should be on religion. Can we not just discuss countries without discussing their religion for goodness sakes? Let us practice our faiths in our privates and discuss intelligently outside and not to bring in religion when we don't know what next to say. It is not a must that we participate in any thread.

Pls don't see this as a reprimand but I hate it when people discuss issues based on ethnicity or religion. It makes me sick

Once again I say congrats to Iran!
