Hey, I'm not saying life is easy for the men of Somalia but why is it that a special hell is always reserved for women, not just in this war-torn failed nation but in so many places of the world, particularly Islamic places?
Somalia's hardline al Shabaab insurgents have closed down five humanitarian organisations in Somali southern border town of Balad Hawa, a rebel leader said.
The organisations, most of them women groups were ordered to shut down their offices to allow women to stay home and take care of children.
And if there are no men -- or only bad men -- to look after the women, how will they feed those children?
“We have taken this step in accordance with Islamic law. Islam does not allow women to go to offices. We recognised the fact that Muslim women need to stay in their homes and take care of their children,” said Maalim Daaud Mohmed, the Al-Shabaab chairman of Balad Hawa.
I think I read that somewhere in the Koran. Yeah. That's it. Women shouldn't operate computers or photocopy machines. I forget which chapter.
He announced the organisations closed as Halgan Businesswomen's Organisation, the Sed Huro Human Rights Organisation and Farhan Woman for Peace and two other groups that support rural and urban women in Balad Hawa.
All the better to rape them.
Several humanitarian organisations both local and international, which used to operate from Balad Hawo town near the border between Somalia and Kenya have been forced to stop their operations due to intimidation from Islamic militant group, which accuse them of spying for western countries.
Not to mention handing out contraception, safeguarding maternal health and educating them on everything from hygiene to AIDS prevention.
Bastards.
No wonder Somalia is so messed up.
