The pointless death of little Deeqa Nuur in Somalia must not remain unpunished!
Even Somalia’s Attorney General Ahmed Ali Dahir and the Deputy Prime Minister expressed their shock about the death of the girl at a press conference in Somalia's capital.
"Never before I have seen a girl who was so badly injured by a circumciser and I have seen many severe cases of FGM!" Dr. Hassan Omar said at the hospital, where the girl was admitted.
Her lower abdomen was completely destroyed. We could not save her anymore.
A ten-member commission of inquiry was sent to Deequa's village to investigate the case.
Deequa's father still defends FGM.
98.5% of women and girls are still being mutilated in Somalia because of influential religious- and clan leaders demanding FGM and the Somali government is still powerless against them!
