_{Hello Everyone. I am @shiftitamanna

Assalamu Alaikum everyone. Today I'm going to participate in a very meaningful contest of the Steem Cameroon community. Where we have been told about National or International awareness day. The organizers have mentioned various days. I chose one from there.

My favorite day from the list of days is 18th July Nelson Mandela International Day. I consider Nelson Mandela my role model as a world leader in my life. Today I will present my views through this contest.

Nelson Mandela International Day.

(July 18)

What do you know about the day?

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in South Africa and was the first president to be elected on the basis of fair democratic elections. This day is particularly well known because he was born on this day, July 18. It ended his 27 years in prison and brought peace to South Africa. His aim was to mitigate the divide and rule, apartheid regime and justice in his country. His fight against white supremacy was finally over.

Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by the government for advocating for peace, human rights and equality for black people. Which eventually succeeded in its mission. And because of his special achievements in 2009, the United Nations designated July 18 as the Nelson Mandela International Day.

How do you or your country or your organization celebrate the day?

Similarly in our country we as a nation has the same ideology as Nelson Madela did. Our Hon. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also supported Rohingya’s who were forcefully apartheid on Myanmar. Their President was radical in racism and in religion who were killed and pushed Rohingya Muslims into Bangladesh’s borderlands.

Our homeland also have people with different racial background, religion but never there is a single case who can say Bangladesh has racism to Buddhists, Chakma, or Marma people. Every clan is living peacefully with equality and justice in Bangladesh. Bangladesh even took 1Million Rohingya’s and settled in Cox Bazar migration camp which is under the observation of United Nation.

What impact does your community gain during and after the commemoration?

Our community is of different background, religion wise, racial wise and gender wise and Nelson Mandela’s motto and ideology is served into our thoughts even today. Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Jews have equal and justified law in our country. Even people who live on the mountains as minority with different racial background can have the same as the majority of people who lives below land level.

What issue or concern will you recommend to be commemorated this week and on what date?

I would suggest looking into another day and date, International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism 21 August. This day is not only for a specific country but rather it serves the entire world. If history is told accurately then every country is a victim of terrorism and not only that it ended very badly for all. Bangladesh, South Africa, USA, India and many more has different stories about terrorism that it faced still today in modern era. Previously it was for world power and domination but now, it more like a trophy or radical madness found within the society.
