Dear respected leaders,
The Somali Bantu Association of Tucson, Arizona is hereby warmly and heartiest saying and sending you congratulations on being selected as the new parliament of Somalia for the next 4 years. It is such a privilege to our community, Somali Bantus (Jareer) to hear and see new candidates in our community to represent us as a leader today and in the coming future, of course we also welcome former parliament members “RETURNEES” to again serve their people, society and other Somali citizens based on justice. Again we are proud to see and welcome you as the newly selected candidates from our community.
Thus, with this position comes with lots of responsibilities therefore the Somali Bantu Communities around the world is turning their ears upside down to hear positive steps taken in their developments. Because of our differences compared to other Somali Jilec our society didn’t get equal access to social services, and thus were left behind. Since Somali got its independence from Italy in 1960 our regions remained remote where every government in the history of Somalia failed to prioritize investment in infrastructure, education, health and other social services. As a result our people/society remained with none or very little opportunity of education, government-administered overseas scholarships are showed favoritism by the so called Somali majority clans. For example, think of the Turkish educational scholarships, Sudan, Yemen and so many. Definitely, you know all about the issues, but the purpose is to remind each other the past so that it will be easy for us to know where we are heading to. Absolutely, you have organized many activities for the campaign to be Somalian MP and we look forward to support you and bring many laurels to our community.
We are a sure that you would do what you have said in your campaign, the oath ceremony and WE the people have lots of hopes that you would provide to us the best facility we have ever had. Yours selection for this position itself shows how much the people love and trust you. You had worked hard to bring this day possible and we appreciate it.
We wish you a successful tenure and hope that your hard work bring you higher responsibilities and position in your political career.
Sincerest congratulation from all the Somali Bantu population in Tucson, Arizona is upon you.
You deserve your splendid success.
Yours,
