He has intergrated into British society and has settled down with a British woman and has two daughters aged 16 years old and 7 years old. Who are British born citizens.
Abdi has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder mental illness which is a result from the childhood trauma he suffered in a devastating war
He was given an IPP sentence of a 2 year tariff to serve in 2005 for a non-violent offence . He was given a 10 year license condition upon release from the the prison .
After his release he was recalled to prison for missing an appointment which was part of his license conditions. Missing the appointment was a breech of license and caused an automatic recall.
Since being in prison on recall he has suffered two serious injuries which one of them was a permanent life changing injury . He suffered a brain injury which was caused through being attacked and the cranium bone was broken at the front of his skull
and led to him being left with a permanent mood and memory impairment which happened in prison . His second injury was caused through a metal radio aerial being deeply embedded into his arm which happened in prison.
He was left for two years without medical checks being done and the only reason medical checks were done was because he was transferred into a mental health hospital from prison. He is left without treatment.
He has also been taken off his bipolar medication. Now the supervising officer has requested for deportation and he has been given a deportation order from the @ukhomeoffice.
This @gofundme is to raise funds for legal costs to hire a solicitor to challenge a deportation for a father who is going to be permanently separated from his children. Also lose a right to very important medical and mental health treatment #JusticeForIPPs gofund.me/a320704c

'I’ve been reading a book recently by the American sociologist David T. Wellman with the frankly terrifying title Portraits Of White Racism. I say terrifying because it conjures all kinds of images of Aryan skinhead fascists with big boots and arm-bands.
I find myself hiding the lurid green cover of the book so people won’t see it when I’m reading it on the tube.
In fact the book isn’t about skinhead fascists at all. Rather its premise is to refute the popular notion that all “racism” is born of ignorant prejudice. Instead Wellman’s subject is

“culturally sanctioned strategies for defending social advantage based on race”.

The National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) has set out new guidance on how best to combat escalating violence against women and girls (VAWG) and the unique challenges that black and other ethnic minority face.
hey propose that police forces should engage with black and other ethnic minority women to learn more about their experiences and to work closely with specialist organisations to provide better support for marginalised women while in the line of duty.
The report comes after the Met released its action plan to combat VAWG last year and

'Since the failure of World Book Night to include any writers of colour in its 2015 list, there has been a fresh bout of conversation about the need for more ‘diversity’ in the literature that is published and awarded in Britain, as well as amongst those working in publishing.
..Alongside a series of Guardian articles, there has been a call for contributions to Nikesh Shukla’s (2016) crowd-funded anthology on race and immigration (in itself a great idea); writers of colour have been invited to come forward, to contact Shukla. #diversedecember,
a twitter initiative set up by bloggers Naomi Frisby and Dan Lipscombe, has been encouraging people to ‘read with diversity’ & share the ‘diverse’ books that they're reading. Many orgs & individuals, readers and writers, are joining in to help bring more ‘diversity’ to publishing

Bear with me as I get this to a wider audience. Hope you will allow me @SamanthaAsumadu that grace as the sole founder of @WritersofColour who does the tweets from here normally. I need help. I.e a book agent who cares about black women's stories in all their complexity.
The one book and film agent (i am writing a script too) i wanted and have known for a while has moved out of this country because of various reasons so I have had to look further afield. Info on the book and me coming up...
The is called The Wannabe - At the centre of this memoir is a celebration of the white, brown and black working classes. The unsung heroes and the dirtbags.
It's a true story about danger and love, the art of letter writing, betrayal, mental health and the power of words.
