Somalia refugees abused and raped - Human Rights Watch

MARCH 27, 2013

(Nairobi) – Members of state security forces and armed groups have raped, beaten, and otherwise abused displaced Somalis who have arrived in Somalia’s capital fleeing famine and armed conflict since 2011, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The new Somali government should urgently improve the protection and security of Mogadishu’s internally displaced population.

The 80-page report, “Hostages of the Gatekeepers: Abuses against Internally Displaced in Mogadishu, Somalia,”details serious violations, including physical attacks, restrictions on movement and access to food and shelter, and clan-based discrimination against the displaced in Mogadishu from the height of the famine in mid-2011 through 2012. Interviews with 70 displaced people documented the ways in which government forces, affiliated militia, and private parties, notably camp managers known as “gatekeepers,” prey upon the vulnerable community.

“Instead of finding a safe haven from fighting and famine, many displaced Somalis who came to Mogadishu have found hostility and abuse,” said Leslie Lefkow, deputy Africa director. “The new Somali government should quickly remedy the failures of the previous government, improve protection of displaced people, and hold to account members of the armed forces and others responsible for abuses.”

This suffering is becoming unbearable. When will these politicians begin to do something to help these people. Everyday something evil happens. Last night I listened to the BBC... One woman said she was raped and SHE WAS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT:( . The situation on the Continent of Africa leaves a lot to be desired...the constant overthrowing of governments and the war keeps making this Continent nothing but a place to be despised. The innocent, children and women are being abused....Have these people escaped from a mental asylum or are they demonic. The recent overthrow of the government of the Central African Republic is another case in point. When I read about what goes on in Africa it really makes one weep...
