On 08 September 2014, Russia Today’s news network reported findings of Human Right Watch (HRW) on how the UN Peacekeepers in Somalia rape women who seek aid and medicine. The HRW report titled: “‘The Power These Men Have Over Us’: Sexual Exploitation and Abuse by African Union Forces in Somalia” has documented the sexual exploitation and abuse of Somali women and teenagers in two bases of The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) since 2013.
HRW talked to 21 victims who said they have been raped or sexually exploited. Humanitarian aid was used to lure and coerce women and teenagers into sexual activity who come to ask for medicine, water and food.
The victims often conceal fearing reprisals, while the troops are immune from local prosecution.
Comment:
It is an obvious fact that the capitalist country will never protect women. And in the real sense they are the ones who repeatedly oppress and violate women’s rights and dishonour.
The so-called African peacekeepers mission in Somalia are the ones who spread war and mischief in Somalia, and was created in order to serve the interests of the western governments especially US with the aim to exploit the resources of the Somali and suppress Islam.
The foreign military intervention in Somalia has brought many disasters to the Muslims of Somalia and to the general public in East Africa. While this heinous atrocious acts take place, the AU (African Union) has turned a blind eye because it is a phony organization which was created to serve foreign agenda.
The western model armies are nothing; but gang rape of Muslim women whenever they encounter them. Because they have no protection since the destruction of Islamic State of Khilafah. We have seen similar cases to Muslim women in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Kashmir and many other places in the world.
This sort of army is a product of the democratic system are the biggest violators of the sanctity of women everywhere in the world because they do not fear the punishment of Allah.
It is only Khilafah state that can protect the honor and dignity of Muslim and non-Muslim women. We remember how Prophet Muhammad (saw) dealt with the Qainuqa Jews who violated the honour and sanctity of the Muslim woman and how the Khaleefah Mu’tassim dealt with the Romans when they captured and dishonored a Muslim woman.
