Update on the Situation and Development, sept 2009

bullet

What we feared seems to have started. We only hope that the nightmares of the 1990's are not repeated in the Afar pastoralist villages where women and girls were raped in the mass, the nomad camps burned, water wells poisoned and every afar male killed.
It is also our hope that the Western countries including Sweden, which have its troops in Djibouti will not be silent spectators when a new genocide going on in front of their eyes.
