SHUKRI ABDI 2007 - 2019 (12 years old) Manchester, England, United Kingdom 

‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you.’

Shukri Abdi was a 12 year old Somalian girl who was born and brought up in a refugee camp in Kenya having escaped conflict in Somalia. She arrived in the UK in 2017 and experienced horrific bullying from her classmates who called her ‘coloured’ and ‘half-caste’. 

In 2017 her body was found in the River Irwell, when police arrived children were still laughing as Shukri drowned. Greater Manchester police quickly declared the incident an accident. 

“Child Four said that Shukri seemed untroubled in the deeper water when she had her arm on Child One’s shoulder, but appeared to get into difficulties when Child One let go of her and swam back to the other children.”

“Then Shukri’s head went under and came back up. I think she was trying to say something but she couldn’t, trying to call out but she couldn’t,” Child Four told the court.  

Child Four was asked by the court if Child One was laughing when they could see Shukri struggling and sumberging beneath the surface.

Child Four replied “Yes” and said they presumed it was because they thought Shukri was joking about drowning, but Child Four said they could see Shukri wasn’t joking. Child Four jumped in the water to try to save Shukri. Child Three ran to get a stick to try to pull Shukri out.

“Child One was laughing for a couple of minutes,” Child Four told the inquest. “Child One was still laughing when me and Child Three were trying to help. Child One was still laughing when I jumped in.”

Child Four said that neither Child One nor Child Two were doing anything while Shukri was drowning, and that Child One only stopped laughing when the police came.

After jumping into the water to try to save Shukri, Child Four realised they would not be able to save her, so ran to the nearby Bury police station to alert them. Child Three did the same.

Child Four said that Child Three blamed Child One for the tragedy “because they let go of Shukri”.

- The Guardian 

It is claimed by the other children CH1 said ‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you’ to Shukri before the incident. This was intentional and not an accident. Shukri, her poor mother and dear siblings deserve justice. They came to this country thinking they were going to be safe. Manchester claims to be open and honest and loving and yet a vulnerable child has died in their city. You need to be screaming for Justice. Inquests are not enough and not fast enough, not for Shukri, not for her mother. Justice.

If you call pedophilia a kink please unfollow me and never talk to me again

If you guys are able, consider donating to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women database.

“In the US, murder is the third-leading cause of death among American Indian women, the rate of rape on some reservations can be ten times higher than the national average, and Native women and girls are highly overrepresented in cases of missing persons (for example, in Montana, Native people make up 8% of the state population, and yet 40% of the state’s missing girls are Native). A complex maze of jurisdictional policies and institutionalized violence means much of this violence is not only not addressed, but not documented.” 

All Nations Matter (Star Spangled Banner for 2020)

O say can you see, by the cops’ riot light What so loudly we failed at the twilight’s last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars were betrayed through the night O'er the roadblocks we watched, with our phones we were streaming And the road flare’s red glare, teargas spraying in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag never cared, So broad-cast that all nations matter this day As we all take a knee, in this land built by slaves

On the screen dimly seen, protesters on the street Where the foe’s police post in dread silence reposes Behind badges unseen, safe inside their conceit But the cops unjust blows, unwittingly exposes The American dream, of those that they would deem As deserving of more rights and greater esteem But proclaim black lives matter, see how poorly they behave, See their hypocrisy, as our freedom we save

I am an atrocious singer, so I not only welcome people recording their own videos singing this, I highly encourage it! I only ask that you remember to credit me for the lyrics. :)

Happy 4th of July, ya’ll, Happy All Nations Matter Day!
