Somali president finally acknowledges rape by security forces

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

there is a rape epidemic, have you guys heard whats happening in India and Brazil and all over the third world. As long women take the back seat issues like this and wait for a president to or government that's almost all male, nothing will happen. maybe they to take to the streets.

Blessed. It is societal issue. That said, Somali women in the West are in unique advantage to help women back home. Social and political change will only come if women demand them.

I don't understand why privileged diaspora men opt to remain silent? Dhiigu idinma dhaqaaqo?

This is not some disparity in wages or political participation that needs rectifying, this is the most psychologically damaging crime one human can commit upon another. Women do not have to demand to live in peace in their own country, its their birth-right.

 

The President as the leader of the republic has to fix this issue with all the power that is at his disposal, and he has enough to get the job done. If this is still happening 6 months from now, then all of these stories of a rebirth are just fairy-tales.

It's men doing the raping, saaxib. Surely it's other men that should be making the most noise about such injustice.
