KAMILAT MEDHI. THE END OF A YOUNG GIRL'S DREAMS.

Beautiful 21 year old Ethiopian model and student, Kamilat Medhi, had a bright future ahead of her. She dreamt about doing a degree and becoming an air hostess.

All that changed one night when she was walking home from work with her two sisters and a stalker poured sulphuric acid in her face.

Kamilat and her sisters were on their way home from their mother's shop when a young man forced them to go down a dark alley and then someone came and threw acid in their faces. Her sisters, Zeyneba and Zubyeda, escaped with lesser injuries but their faces were also burnt by the acid. But Kamilat was the target so she was worse hit.

It was later discovered that the man who bathed Kamilat with acid was someone who had been bothering the young girl for over 4 years. He had been giving her a hard time but she didn't tell the family for fear that something would happen to them. He was always saying he would use a gun on them.

Kamilat is now lying in hospital disfigured beyond recognition.
Her skin is red raw, her eyelids have almost been entirely destroyed and her hairline has been burnt back.

All this is for what? The guy who did this to this young girl was aiming for...? I don't understand the cruelty of the human mind. How anyone can plot such a barbaric act against another fellow human is beyond my understanding. No matter what the offence, no matter the provocation, this is just not the way to go about life. I don't know who this guy is, but God does and I know his punishment is waiting for him. He will get what he deserves!

My name is Susan
I think it is a shame for such a beautiful girl to be assaulted like that
I wonder why they did not tell their parents or the police about a man who's been bugging them for 4 whole years!
Hope justice torments him

Aiyahhh...May God punish dat idiot. May he never find peace of mind. That poor girl; may God give her family solace and strenght to see her through this horrific nightmare. Amen

After my prayer, I would just like to say that any young woman reading this shoulld know that these things happen. In the event that anybody is bugging any young girl, she should not hesitate to report to a family member or even the police. There are a lot of sick fucks out there that just prey on young girls. BE CAREFUL!!!

2. Always follow your instincts. You have a wierd feeling that some guy looks at you funny or a creepy guy in a dark alley, draw attention to yaself.

3. NEVER AGREE TO A SECOND LOCATION. Let me break it down...if you uncomfortable about a situation involving you and some individual, never agree to a second location.

4. PRAY

Hapsy

Its true oh, anonymous above, instincts are very real. I rely on it daily as I have become used to being accosted and watched.

Even while you are driving, if you feel the same car is on your tail too long, PLEASE, divert your route and cut through different streets to see if they still come or to get away. There are many unexplainable things going on these days.

yeah this is sooo crazy but you know what my cousin is also going through the same thing. the guy is treatning to kill her and her family. he is doing anything he could to hurt her. he is punishing her by hurting the ppl she loves. he has been beating up her friends and everything she has told the police but they havent done anything about it. this has been going on for the past 9 months or more. God knows how long it has been before she told anyone. the crazy thing is that the police have not done anything about it except saying we couldnt get hold of him. i am not surprised that he is still doing it cuz he know nothing is gonnna happen to him. i think those guys need to learn a lesson. i wish i could do something about it. this need to stoppppppppppppppppppp the gurls need their freedom. you know am afraid that the same thing will happen to my cousing if he is not stopped. i hope somebody will find a solution for the problem. may God be with all of you
