Pirates and kidnappers. that's what I think of when Somalia is
mentioned. And poverty. There's plenty of that. Dignity is not high on
the list and women sit forlorn and hopeless in the dredges at the
bottom.
A 27-year-old Somalian woman claims she was raped by
police. They are not happy. She was dragged before the courts to explain
herself, and say why she was "offending the dignity of a national
institution," and threatening the image of Somalia.
Was she
supposed to say sorry, won't do it again and can you pass on sincere
apologies to the police officers involved? Why do they always blame the
women, everywhere, for flaunting themselves, behaving provocatively or
getting drunk?
Somalia may be beautiful country. I'll never know. To me it will always be a hell hole.
