See the whole article in English below. Nuri Kino: Jag satt fastklistrad vid datorn och chattade med ADFA:s team i Irak medan jag pratade med Washington i mobilen. Mamma fick nog: Skärp dig, en massa ingredienser fattas till matlagningen, du måst gå till livsmedelsaffären. Jag tog på mig min jacka och gick mot Coop ... Vad ser jag? Löpsedlarna. Jag känner mig något generad, ödmjukt tacksam och en aning stolt. Vi kommer aldrig att ge upp kampen. God Jul, speciellt alla ni som är på flykt, vi tänker på er hela tiden. I am sat by my computer writing to ADFA:s team in Iraq whilst speaking to our office in Washington when my mum interrupts me: You need to get a grip now, there are tons of ingredients missing for the Christmas-dinner, you have to go to the grocery store. I put on my jacket and walk down... What do I see? We are making headlines: Nuri Kino says We will never give up th struggle And we will never remember all those of you who are on fleeing your perpatrators. Click on the picture and you see the Sweidsh Queen on the top on the other headline and all other celebrities above her. I feel humbled, embarrassed and grateful. And yes, we will never give up. Merry Christmas! An English translation of the article. What we have achieved is amazing From an apartment in Södertälje to the European parliament and the White House. 2014 has been a fully subscribed year for A demand for action. With the desire to be the voice of Christian minorities in Iraq and Syria the freelance journalist, Middle East expert and Södertälje native Nuri Kino started A Demand For Action (ADFA). The first seed was sown in an apartment in central Södertälje. Now there are organizations in 19 countries. - On 2nd July 2014 we sent an email to policymakers, organizations and politicians urging them not to ignore the persecution of minorities. Since then it has moved quickly. And what we have achieved is amazing, says Nuri Kino. The organization has arranged demonstrations and relief supplies - including one in Södertälje, where lots of blankets, sleeping bags and rugs were collected for the refugees in Iraq. - It is incredible that people are helping others that they have never met, says Nuri Kino who call the solidarity shown magic. ADFA has also held meetings with representatives of the European Parliament and the White House. And the work continues. - We never give up the fight for the victims. Not until they are in safety. Thats a promise. What do you wish for in 2015? - The fact that 2015 will bring more security for children in the world. 2014 has been an attack on the children. And I wish that the solidarity continues. #DemandForAction #SafeHavenNow lt.se/nyheter/sodertalje/1.2774448-tre-goda-garningar-att-inspireras-av
