WHERE WERE THEY.....?
1. WHERE WERE THEY when, under the scorching heat of mountainous Pulka, Ali Isa oversaw humanitarian interventions reaching out to tens of thousands of vulnerable populations, yet not a single critic lifted a finger to help?
2. WHERE WERE THEY when Ali Isa braved the muddy flood plains of Dikwa and Kala Balge, navigating treacherous roads that swallowed vehicles whole, while they sat in air-conditioned offices miles away?
3. WHERE WERE THEY when Ali Isa risked his life on the dangerous routes of northern and southern Borno, knowing full well that each mile could be his last, to deliver aid to the forgotten?
4. WHERE WERE THEY when on numerous occasions Ali Isa's convoy was ambushed by insurgents, and he had to fight not only for his own survival but for the survival of the supplies meant for the starving?
5. WHERE WERE THEY when Ali Isa single-handedly sat under frayed tarpaulins, listening for hours to the grievances of desperate households—widows, orphans.
