AL JAMA-AH CELEBRATES WITH A SOCCER TOURNAMENT IN MKHILO

The Russian / Ukraine Conflict

The Russian / Ukraine Conflict

Al Jama-ah leadership and several organisations including community leaders, politicians, and university student representatives met with the consulate of Russia for a discussion on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia since 2014 to date.

 

 The meeting served as an opportunity for South Africans to dialogue with the Russian Consulate.The reality highlighted the western media propaganda attempting to block the true reality of the conflict and the continued spreading of a narrative.

Being afforded an opportunity to speak to those from Ukraine and Russia only then do you realise the extent that narrative has been distorted by Ukraine leadership and their western counterparts, specifically the US and not forgetting NATO.

The people of Ukraine and Russia share a close bond; many have family and friends in the country of the other. The impact of the conflict has had a heartbreaking impact on both sides. The DA narrative by their Zionist supported leadership continues to spread a distorted narrative. The DA attempts to spread the narrative that the Zionist leadership of Ukraine is innocent and Russia is guilty. It spreads a one sided narrative.

For those of us who are Palestinian Activists these narratives are a reminder of the Zionists actions against the people of Palestine. The difference here is that the Ukrainian leadership are using their own people of Ukraine as shields to further their own cause and interests; this has been very clear in this conflict.

It is time that we all start opening our eyes for within our midst we have media propaganda infiltrating and spreading narratives and mischief in our own country. It is time to educate ourselves on not just issues within our own borders but internationally as we have seen the impact and rippling effect of conflict on all countries.

The physical reality is that war will consume material resources and human lives until one side capitulates or both sides become so exhausted that they negotiate for peace. “The media-driven reality is that war will continue so long as information outlets owned and controlled by the dominant West – which have been called the “white man’s media” – continue to stir up war to contain challengers to Western dominance”

This meeting highlighted the importance of if we are unable to trust the media we need to educate ourselves and seek the truth.Time is of the essence as the continued narratives spread results in continued conflict and loss of lives and ultimately impacts on the rest of the world especially on those already struggling

Al Jama-ah has been my party of choice on the ballot paper for 16 years and has provided me with a platform to fearlessly fight for the rights of others as well as to continue the charitable work in line with my religion and to exercise my faith with a clear conscious 

I am humbled that Al Jamaah is a political party for all communities and has the ethos of the deen of Islam.

Many values the moral values an ethics of Al Jama-ah and despite being of different faiths have found their political home within Al Jama-ah and their religion is respected and value’s protected as despite our different religions our moral and core values resonates with each other.

It is vital that parties such as Al Jama-ah continue to be an integral part of the political sphere to hold all structures accountable, to be vocal without fear or favour on the wrongs done and to work towards beneficial change for all communities.

May Allah SWT guide and protect Al Jama-ah and encourage many more to become a part of the party that we may become stronger in unity and ensure the much needed change in SA Ameen
