In a long -awaited moment, in which the tears of nostalgia and hope were poured out, the news of finding the mother of the Egyptian citizen residing in Bahrain, Noha Abdel -Moneim Al -Quloub, and returned hope to souls exhausted by loss and pain of the years.
The efforts led by the newspaper “Al -Watan”, which adopted the publication of the story of Noha in coordination with the Iraqi media and influential on communication platforms, resulted in a long -awaited happy ending, as her mother was found after hardship and long research.
This result is the culmination of fruitful cooperation between the media and society, in a vivid example of the role of the press in serving humanitarian issues.
Noha, that child, who was kidnapped by complex and thorny circumstances, has no room to mention in this happy news from the bosom of her mother in the early 1990s, and she lived her life panting behind a picture, memory, or even a name … She woke up a few days ago to the greatest surprise in her life: “Your mother is alive .. and lives in Baghdad.”
After an arduous journey, the ways were cut, the doors were closed, and thousands of tears were shed.
The old picture in the circumstance that was found by chance in an abandoned stairs, and was referring to the “Turkmen – Sahab neighborhood in Jordan”, which restored the threads of the search to a new road, but it was not the last station … Rather, it was a key that led us to Baghdad and its overcrowded old lanes.
The sincerity of Al -Bahadli, an Iraqi woman residing in Amman, contributed greatly to solving a mystery that started since the war of liberating Kuwait, or a little later, we communicated with her, guiding us, and it is a lot for the Egyptian citizen Noha Abdel Moneim.
In coordination with some journalists in Iraq and Turkey, we arranged a television interview with the Fallujah satellite channel to prohibit appearing on her screen in one of its famous programs with tears, sorrow and pain describing her condition, and hours after broadcasting the episode, she continued close to the mother of Noha, Noha, Noha, contacted her via Facebook with an eagerness, hope and longing to know the truth immediately. Reaching the Nidal Ibrahim, the mother of Noha, who has never forgotten her daughter, and lived in the hope that life will return to her with her missing daughter.
The moment of contact between the mother and her daughter was closer to the miracle.
A humble silence .. a long sigh .. then crying in tears that started from two hearts that had not been died 35 years ago, but rather the first year of “the girl Noha”, but they got to know each other without one question.
Noha to “Al -Watan” with an endless tears: “I did not need to prove that she is my mother, my heart knew her before she uttered … and her voice brought me back to me, who lost my life.”
On the other hand, we contacted the mother in the first moments, and the mother expressed a struggle with words suffocated by tears: “I was praying to God not to die before I see Noha .. And here she returns to me, as if I was born again.”
With a faint and trembling voice, she tells the struggle of Ismail, the Iraqi mother who was exhausted by longing, the story of Omar lost while waiting for the meeting.
The struggle of the seventy threshold exceeded, but in her eyes a story, or her daughter was not absent from her one day, despite the passage of more than 35 years of separation.
Nidal lived on hope, praying, crying and writing letters that you do not know to whom you send, until the day came when I heard the voice that you saved in its depths … “Mama”.
Today, Nidal stands at the edge of the dream, after a lifetime of pain, waiting for the meeting that it wished for decades. An upcoming meeting is currently being made, in the hope that she will find Noha and her mother comfort, and in the hope that she is helped to reach her mother away from the complications.
But what is certain is that the heart that remained waiting, finally found its destination, after more than three decades of pain, fear, and loss … The end of the story is written with an upcoming meeting with all the meanings of longing, pardon, and love.
Perhaps the story of Noha and a struggle becomes a message of hope for everyone who is waiting, and for everyone who is still searching for his loved ones behind the shadows of loss and absence, because motherhood is not aging, love does not rust, and nostalgia does not forget his path and what is in the heart remains in the heart.
The separation may prolong the journey, but it does not cut the road … and nostalgia may weaken the sound, but it does not extinguish the call.
