Thanks for @WaddaniP for waiving 💯% party fees from women and minority candidates. This is very good news for women and minority communities.

Pleased to have met with H.E @musebiihi to discuss the waiving of the NEC registration fee from women and minorities. The fee is part of legislation that cannot be changed but the President committed that the government will pay the fee on behalf of women and minority candidates.

Why do Some Somali man Rape?.............. Bcs, rapist know there is no legal justice, or Anti_ GBV law, he also know there is strong social culture that will support him, not victims. What ever happens, He will marry finally the victim. Why why why. #GBVmustfall #Rape
