My wife listened to me read Yousif's story and suggested that someone link him
up with George Clooney who has been extremely active on Sudanese issues.

Hi all,
I had an unusual phone call yesterday with a Sudanese man, Yousif Ibra, who is
living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He has been in the U.S. for about one year and
has applied for asylum but has yet to hear anything. He left family behind when
he fled his country.
Yousif told me that he saw my book online and thought I could help. I committed
to sending him copies of my books and said that I would reach out to the
networks I’m in to see if there’s someone better equipped than I to work with
him. I’m definitely out of my element on this!
I asked him to write something about his request for help. His response to my
request is below. There are no doubt multiple forms of support that might be
possible: connections with organizations that are involved with Sudan, a place
for him in a workshop you are doing, or working with him to imagine something
that can be done.
I’m sending this message in hopes that someone(s) are in a position to help
Yousif. His contact information is in his message. Do copy me if you reach out
to him. In fact, let us know on this list if you do.
I guess I’m counting on the miracle of this world wide network of friends to
have someone who can make a difference.
With gratitude,Peggy

Dear peggy Holman:
My greets and appreciate for your interest on my catastrophic issue.
my name is Yousif Ibra ,PhD accounting.
I came US in February 2014 as escaped politician from Sudan.the situation in my
country is very hard .governed by military dictator, discriminative terrorist
sponsor, oppressive ,and so far immoral corrupt regime.
Since the regime took power in 1989 by military coup became main terrorism
coordinator against Israel ,U.S.A , and all the free democracy or un Islamic
Fundamelism countries ,and that which defamed the innocent Sudanese as they are
criminals.
May political opposition parties and rebellion groups created to fight for
changing this totalitarian regime ,but all the politician are even killed ,put
in prisons or enforced to leave the country ..And all the population in
rebellion regions are oppressed by devastating their houses ,farmlands ,and
whole livestocks are even confiscated or raided by the regime's warplanes.
Even all that efforts ,the opposition groups are failed to coordinate to
change this mi serious situation for many reasons which some of them are:
1-lack of strategic vision in most of rebellion group.
2- lack of comprehensive changing methodology in most of the political parties.
3-There is no real under stand and interface among global leaders ,institutes
,and intellectuals about the existing regime as again course of in stability
in the region and source of in security threat for the west and free countries
in Africa ,Middle east and Israel's people in particular.
I read some abstracts from honorable Peggy Holman's References about
comprehensive changing ,and I think this scientific methodology and approach is
very important to be consulted in working for real change in my complicated
and aggravated country .
For the brief above we are in extreme for your help by means of :
1-your expertise advice to any sudanese he is honestly working for better
future.
2-we need to any financial ,political and structural aid that help us so much
to coordinate,unify ,and help the scattered efforts for the main goal; which is
how to change this sad situation.
3-we need your help for the very necessary access to the deferent persons
,organizations and decision makers who have desire of help us to change the
inhumanity situation in my country.
4- I need your help and will be very thankful if you invited me to attend any
program ,workshops ,or events with your organization or any of your partners or
work relations nets.
Thanks
Your truly sincere
Yousif Ibra. My Address:
