    The vast Horn of Africa in the northeast of the continent, whether Somalia or Somaliland, has experienced continuous turmoil of division and reunification since the 19th century.
    From the colonial periods of Britain and Italy in Somalia and Somaliland in the 19th and 20th centuries, to the later surges of nationalism, decolonization, civil wars, independence, and dictatorships, the Somali people have endured turbulent times of displacement.
    In this turbulent nation, what is most needed are lifesaving healthcare workers.
    Edna Adan Ismail stepped forward, inheriting her father's courage, and pioneered a path to help others in dire need.
    She is widely recognized as a pioneer of African women's empowerment.
    She is also acknowledged as the Muslim Mother Teresa.
    Even more touching, she devoted her life to hospitals.
    Edna Adan Ismail never mentions that she was once the First Lady of Somaliland, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Health, Minister of Family Welfare and Social Development. Instead, she tells everyone that she is Africa's first qualified midwife and a WHO international supervisor. She dedicated her life to fulfilling her father's dream of saving lives by establishing modern hospitals, cultivating more healthcare professionals as international specialists, and providing medical care without borders.
    Africa is the cradle of humanity, the birthplace of ancient civilizations, and a vast field where love knows no bounds.
    Turning the pages of Africa's history of suffering, the greater the suffering, the broader the power of love.
    Just as Albert Schweitzer dedicated his life in the past, Edna Adan Ismail has wedded herself to hospitals.
    We cordially invite everyone to hold a copy of "Love Spreads Infinitely in Africa," to continuously assist Africa's Mother Teresa, Edna Adan Ismail, and together, use love to transform Africa.
