   assalamo-alikum brother & sisters in islam

   this incident reminds me of a english poem written by a african writter.”not my bussiness” i think the poem title would already have auggested you what i am going to say next

   We all care for ourselves and say to ourselves its not our turn yet so there;s no need to worry about these MQM goons, we are safe

   But one day allah na karey we face this (inshallah) , so we need to start defending each other rather being selfish and saying its not our turn yet and we are safe from these goons and do something together.

   REad the poem below and the interpretation

   Niyi Osundare: Not My Business
   This poem is about shared responsibility and the way that tyranny grows if no one opposes it. It is composed, simply, of three stories about victims of the oppressors, followed by the experience of the speaker in the poem. The poet is Nigerian but the situation in the poem could be from many countries. It echoes, in its four parts, a statement by Pastor Martin Niemöller, who opposed the Nazis. Speaking later to many audiences he would conclude with these words, more or less:

   “First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”
   The oppressors are not specified, only identified by the pronoun “they” – but we suppose them to be the agents of the state, perhaps soldiers or police officers. The first story is Akanni’s – he is seized in the morning, beaten then taken away in a jeep. We do not know if he ever returned.

   The second victim is Danladi – whose family is awoken at night. Danladi is away for a long time (though there is a hint that this person eventually comes back). Last comes Chinwe, who has been an exemplary worker (she has a “stainless record”) but finds that she has been given the sack without any warning or reason.

   Back to top

   After each of these three accounts, the speaker in the poem asks what business it is of his (or hers) – with the implication that these people’s experiences are not connected to him. The speaker’s only concern is for the next meal (“the yam” in “my savouring mouth”).

   The poem ends with a knock on the door, and the oppressors’ jeep parked outside. There seems some justice in the timing of the appearance of the jeep: “As I sat down to eat my yam”.

   The poet makes it clear that the oppressors thrive when their victims act only for themselves – if they organize, then they can be stronger. Niyi Osundare also criticizes the character in the poem for thinking only of food – or perhaps understands that, in a poor country, hunger is a powerful weapon of the tyrant.

   Back to top

   It is easy to take for granted the freedoms some of us enjoy in liberal democracies. But these are not found everywhere. There are housing estates, places of work and even schools where these basic liberties may be lost for some reason – anywhere where bullies find that their victims do not stand up for themselves or resist their power. Osundare makes it clear that it is always our business.

   The poem has a very clear structure – we are told the time of each of the episodes and what happened, followed by the refrain: “What business of mine is it…?” Except for the last occasion – because it is obvious now that it (the state terror) is everyone’s business. And now it is more obviously the speaker’s business. We do not yet know what “they” have in store for this next victim, but we do not suppose it to be pleasant. And it turns out that merely to keep quiet and try not to be noticed is no guarantee of safety. Why not? Because the oppressors are not reasonable people who pick only on the troublemakers – they sustain a reign of terror by the randomness of their persecution of harmless or innocent people.

   Now read the poem

   Not my Business

   They picked Akanni up one morning
   Beat him soft like clay
   And stuffed him down the belly
   Of a waiting jeep.
   What business of mine is it
   So long they don’t take the yam
   From my savouring mouth?

   They came one night
   Booted the whole house awake
   And dragged Danladi out,
   Then off to a lengthy absence.
   What business of mine is it
   So long they don’t take the yam
   From my savouring mouth?

   Chinwe went to work one day
   Only to find her job was gone:
   No query, no warning, no probe –
   Just one neat sack for a stainless record.
   What business of mine is it
   So long they don’t take the yam
   From my savouring mouth?

   And then one evening
   As I sat down to eat my yam
   A knock on the door froze my hungry hand.
   The jeep was waiting on my bewildered lawn

   Waiting, waiting in its usual silence.

   Niyi Osundare
