Update on the
Situation and Development, sept 2009
|
|
|
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.
