Somalia: Protect Displaced People at Risk
Members of state security forces and armed groups have raped, beaten, and otherwise abused displaced Somalis who have arrived in Somalia’s capital fleeing famine and armed conflict since 2011.
Instead of finding a safe haven from fighting and famine, many displaced Somalis who came to Mogadishu have found hostility and abuse.
The new Somali government should urgently improve the protection and security of Mogadishu’s internally displaced population.
