Kimse Yok Mu restoring eyesight to the needy blind in Pakistan

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

Having earlier reached out too for help for the Pakistani people, Kimse Yok Mu Foundation now heals the cataract patients in need. The foundation rolled up the sleeves to offer cataract surgeries to five thousand in Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

From 2014 on, the foundation targets three hundred monthly and about 5 thousand annually. With the aid campaign cementing the Turkish-Pakistani ties, the locals will be able to receive surgeries at no charge. The doctors assigned with this project will perform screenings monthly at schools in impoverished regions. Students at those schools will receive further treatment and medication at no charge.

Prominent statesmen were in attendance of the inauguration of the project in Dare Ismail Khan. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s minister of revenue Ali Amin Gandapur, Pakistani Federal Parliament’s former deputy-speaker Faysal Kundi, Dare Ismail Khan’s deputy governor Irfan Mesud and KYM’s director in Pakistan Ozcan Inan were present at the gathering. “Eye is one of the most important organs of a human being. On behalf of this state and the city, I would like to thank Kimse Yok Mu and Turkish people for all their assistance,” Kundi remarked.

“KYM has been offering a cure to the poor here. I would like to thank for such a great help,” the minister Gandapur said.

The patients also expressed their gratitude to the Turkish donors. “We have them in our prayers,” they said. Among those showing up for surgery was a 110- year-old patient. The old patient had his granddaughter with him. They both thanked Turks for their donations.

Pak-Turk schools: Parents urge government against transferring administration to Erdogan-linked organization

“All the Turkish teachers and administrators have left Pakistan and the schools are being run by Pakistanis,” said one of the parents Syed Amir Abdullah. He added that the government still seemed hell bent on ruining these institutions by handing them over to an ‘infamous organisation’ which has no experience of running them.

Turkey Heads Toward Radical Islamic Dictatorship

Thousands have been arrested. Civil rights are suspended. People are jailed with no way to consult lawyers or present a defense. The coup has become an excuse for Erdoğan to purge state institutions, and even the private sector, of his critics, regardless of their guilt with regard to the insurrection. The Turkish government — and a 100% state-controlled media — has accused the U.S. government of being behind the coup attempt itself and harboring its purported mastermind, Fetullah Gulen.

The real problem is not an AK Party-Gülen movement conflict

When the problem is not properly diagnosed, the treatment can’t be on the mark. Let us speak openly: while the problem may appear to be a struggle between children from the same neighborhood — the AK Party and the Gülen movement — the real problem is in fact one that concerns all of society: democracy and justice. And the only solution is to return to real democracy and the principles of the rule of law.

Why do I take sides

The faith-based social movement Gülen has inspired as one of the major civil society forces in Turkey which, through educational, media, business and social solidarity institutions, promotes democratization, socio-economic development and integration with the global community.
