46 Amir. Hamidullah Zafar went on a two-week visit of Guinea- Bissau and worked arduously. He planned to go back there later but unfortunately after a few years, the situation became dangerous for the jama’at and he was exiled in a helpless condition. Cape Verde under Senegal Emirate After Hameedullah Sahib, I was assigned the responsibility for Cape Verde once again. I sent a Senegalese Muallim, who had qualified from Jami’a Ahmadiyya Ghana, rented a house in Praia and started the mission. Through his efforts, forty bai’ats were achieved in Praia and its suburbs. However, he had to return because of some difficulties. Thereafter, a Gambian - Mr Ba Sahu, who was resident there because of his employment, took care of the jama’at. My Tour of Cape Verde In 2011, I went on a tour of Senegal and had the opportunity to visit Cape Verde as well. I organised Tabligh and tarbiyyat meetings with Ahmadis and non-Ahmadis there. Moreover, distributed literature in the suburban villages for the first time and made new contacts. These were the last days of Ramadan and accordingly distributed some gifts among the deserving. A Muallim for Cape Verde Mr Alieu faye selected a young man who is being sent to Jama’at Ahmadiyya Ghana to get religious education. May Allah bless this scheme, Amin!
