Explorers: Honestly this saddened my heart greatly. Can you imagine, ONE block of flat got burnt and within hours ordinary individuals had donated items to the extent they were being turned back due to insufficient capacity to take more donations. Yet over here in Africa we have thousands of people left bereaved, homeless, impoverished more on a daily basis due to terror attacks, accidents and various other disaster yet these same people die in IDP camps and in hospitals as there are lack of sufficient relief items to sustain them. Yet we are quick to criticize them and their western culture as corrupt while we hide and play holy people etc. Really smh. Can't we see its obvious? THESE are the people who understand the true meaning of humanity. The black man is only interested in how to kill, maim and swindle his neighbor or for misfortune to befall the next man so that he can benefit from it and add to the one he has. So so painful being a black man and living here sometimes 11 Likes 4 Shares |

mansakhalifa:Yeah, he is Ethiopian like you said. Kebede is an Amharegn/Amharic word which means "it/he gets heavier". |

It's very sad, especially seeing those on the window that they will either die by burning to death or jumping. It reminds me of the people who jumped from the twin towers of USA in September 11, 2001. Actually September 11 and 12(the 4th leap year) is the New Year for us Ethiopians. We've our own calendar. Is Kebede(the house of the man where the fire started) dead? And, did anybody died by jumping from the building? |

@Hati13 thanks for the extra info man. I 've searched everywhere for the meaning of that name. I remember one Ethiopian footballer who goes by that name-Getane Kebede. You will know him if you are a football fan. |

ogbiwa: we have that heart,.the problem is that politicians/am some troubled individuals managing things here always have a way of making poor donors poorer,..every situation is an opportunity for a scammer next door,.imagine a situation where 1 man used billions of naira to cut grass for the IDP and go free,.what do you think he will do to your donations,..people are trying to stay alive and feeding thieves is sure not a way to do it 2 Likes |

Queen and Prince William comfort survivors of the Grenfell Tower. The Queen and her grandson Prince William were met with applause when they dropped in to an emergency shelter in West London this morning to meet the devastated survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster. Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, visited the Westway Sports Centre in White City, a venue that has been a focal point for efforts to support those affected by the deadly inferno inside the high rise.
