SSM Helps Mother Agnes Mariam Bring Relief to Alawite Refugees in the West from Syrian Kurds in the East (Updated)

Note from Mother Agnes,

Dear Paul, your generous donation allowed me to fund the fuel for the distribution operations of the SOLE relief convoy to the Syrian Coast. I bargained it with the Kurdish Self Administration in the North East of Syria and brought it  to the Coast. 300 tons of wheat, 6250 food parcels and 1500 hygiene kits. IT WAS A BLESSING !!!  Mother Agnes Mariam

Here are some images  of the journey:

A Generous Gift:  Here we see a member of Mother Agnes’ team who is thanking the Kurds on behalf of her Son of Man humanitarian project, for their unprecedented generosity towards the Alawite community from which they have been estranged for more than a decade. This assistance is really important because it brought the Eastern Kurds and the Coastal Alawites together during the holy season of Ramadan.   Traditionally, during Ramadan, the people of this region share their meals with their neighbors, either inviting them to share one’s table or sending a dish over for their enjoyment.  The speaker is saying that this gift has special meaning as they (the Kurds) are helping their brother Muslims during this special time.  This is potentially the beginning of a new solidarity alliance in Syria.

We recently received some news that the convoy had been abducted by government forces, but on talking to Mother Agnes, we were informed that this was ‘fake news’.   In fact, she negotiated al-Sharaa’s agreement and assistance in facilitating the delivery.   This is the kind of work that Mother Agnes was doing during the war.
