The Victimization of Kulmiye Members

Mr. Siranyo left the party in a no win situation. He is neglecting his party mates; He becomes a smothering, dull shell of a human being to be discarded. Is it any wonder He become anxious and guilt-ridden trying to juggle all the responsibilities?

Mr. Marshall, Stepping down from seeking a position as a vice president of Kulmiye party, gave me the idea that He was a victim. When you feel you have lost control of your life, you may be on a board on a ship that is about to sink, someone may be holding a gun to your head, or a computer may make an error withdrawing money from your bank account to Kulmiye party accounts.

In each of these cases your initial feelings will probably include anger, frustration and the fear that you are helpless and vulnerable. If the victimization is prolonged or repeated several times, then you will begin to feel you are powerless to make any changes in your life and that any action you could take would be useless.

If Kulmiye party members are trained from the day we move to tribalism (Beello) to become perfect victims. This set-up usually makes the members feel insecure. You have placed control of your life outside yourself in someone else’s power. You are dependent on someone else’s approval for your self-esteem. It is considered your actions to be passive, compliant, yielding — to be a victim.

The only way this victimization can be overcome is by re-organizing the party and change the leadership so that it is acceptable for all members.
