Somalia: Citizens Outraged By Trending Video Showing Girl Raped By 6 Men
[All Africa] A video of a girl been raped by six men in Puntland...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... making rounds on social media has caused an outrage across the country. The video shot and posted by the perpetrators on their Facebook accounts shows a naked girl in her teen age crying for help as a group of boys force themselves into her. The girl is beaten up and a bleeding wound can be seen on her back. She is heard pleading "Leave me alone please" in Somali when one of the boys chocked on her neck. The boy lets her lose then demands her to be on her four limbs and threatens to stub her. The girl refuses to be in that position and is forced on to by one boy. The incident reportedly took place at Galdogob Puntland near the Æthiopian border. "The suspects have been tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! by Galdogob and will be brought justice" Hassan Mohammed Ayax Commissioner Galdogob told Radio Dalsan. One perpetrator is said to have escaped arrest and a manhunt has been lauched led by the Puntland Police boss. Elders from the girls family and that of the perpetrators are been in involved in an arbitration. The incident has also been condemned by religious leaders in Puntland with activists on social media demanding for justice. "I can't believe that humans are capable of committing such a horrible and cruel act" Alinor a Mogadishu based youth activist tweeted. "Its for sure that this little girl will live with the scars and trauma of such a heinous criminality" he added. "I am shocked. No stones should be left unturned in this case. All suspects must face the law. It is time that we put an end to such unbecoming character from our youth and the best way to set an example by punishing the perpetrators" Mohammed Ajib Director CCA told Radio Dalsan.
