13 year old girl stoned to death + Other news

How many of you have read or heard this story?

13 year old Somali girl stoned to death after being raped by three men


A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said. Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses. The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said. Initial local media reports said Duhulow was 23, but her father told Amnesty International she was 13. Some of the Somali journalists who first reported the killing later told Amnesty International that they had reported she was 23 based upon her physical appearance.


How the hell can we stone a 13 year old girl to death...while 1,000 people watch? My God, why are we like this?

Here's another one that happened in Lagos on Monday
Female motorist beaten by armed navy men in Lagos
On the third of november 2008 on Muhri Okunola Street, victoria Island Lagos, the traffic was chaotic. A young lady (Uzoma Okere) driving home from work didn't move her vehicle out of the way of a millitary convoy on time, resulting to severe beatings by armed Nigerian Navy men. The convoy consisted of a Rear Admiral's personal Navy saloon car and his pilot truck, consisting of 6 armed bodyguards. The body guards in the process physically beat up several Price WaterHouse Coopers staff and destroyed cameras that were filming the event as it unfolded. The video clip was recorded from the PricewaterHouseCoopers office on a personal camera.

What is wrong with us people???
While you're thinking about that, here's another story. I don't know if this is insane or funny...

  6. I am in tears! Ladies, how about a protest march in our bras and black skirts outside the naval headquarter? I thought discipline was crucial to every uniform man, I don't understand how a man can beat a defenseless woman that much?

  7. OMG!!! this is d reason i choose to do international human rights law as opposed to d popular oil and gas law. things like this make my heart bleed, d thing is there are soooooo very few ppl interested in finding practical ways to challeneg such rubbish...i cant blame them though, those of us in developing countries have to be xtra cautious in challenging authority for safety of our own lives.....

    this is y i must continue my passion for human rights....to d 13 year old girl stoned to death and the lady beaten up by those fools or the little girl raped to death because it was alleged she was a witch....I HEAR YOUR CRY....one day is one day....sonner than we know....PLEASE just pary for those of us who are willing to stake our lives to fight this cause...in the words of OBAMA...YES WE CAN

  9. i just haad to post the MISS K response to arogndades daughters gibberish

    @LAYO AROGUNDADE....am i getting something wrong here?
    or are you defending that socially inept misfit born out of a cursed cunt called arogundade?
    is he your dad?or a relative of yours?
    if so u need to seriously hide your ugly faces in collective shame.
    you think coming unto facebook to denounce watever the girl supposedly did,which should NEVER have warranted such an act to be visited upon her makes it okay??

    your"majesty" i ask again?
    is he your damn father or relative of yours?if he is your father,my dear little girl(and I say this in the most condescending manner..i suggest you look for the nearest possibility of “divorcing” him because you my dear have been cursed by an angry nation)
    a whole nation is incensed beyond belief at what has happened,and miss doo-doo brain here thinks THE GIRL IN QUESTION SHOULD THINK AND REASON BEFORE TALKING?

    wow..a case of daddys little princess defending daddy?
    is that wat you go thru at home in his hands?
    does he beat mummy up and then strip her for his perverse pleasures??
    And then does he make his children watch and clap for him??

    That goggled brute needs to be served a dose of his own medicine..typical case of “omo ilenle wey dem put on top bed,last last he gotta mess up and end up back on the floor”
    Ole oju ori olari oshi..typical case of a power drunk nobody who cannot believe his luck at the “height” he has attained.bloody joke.

    Abegii,some of us have had fathers in power,who didn’t feel the need to move around with sirens blaring and mopol/orderlies harassing innocent victims.And yes,I HAVE TRAVELLED IN CARS WITH AN ESCORT ,SITTING IN FRONT…AND SAT QUIETLY IN TRAFFIC LIKE EVERY OTHER SANE CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY…so please PRAY DO TELL LIL MISS LAYO..WETIN DEY WORRY YOUR PAPA..IM CRAZE?? OR HIM JUST GENERALLY FUCKING PARANOID…

    So tell me please daddys little princess…or arogundades little pet cockroach..what exactly are we talking about here??

    And then you so have the guts to so bravely attack a concerned citizen as to his opinion on your foolish idiotic shit head of a fathers actions??

    I can see the apple does not fall far from the tree…or does it??layo??

    Or wetin?? You go vex too and get your daddy..or whatever he is to you and his boys to CYBERWHOOP MY ARSE AND STRIP ME VIA THE NET??

    Babes..if you people have been doing it for a long time and kept getting away with it..hun,mark my words this WILL BE THAT FINAL FULL STOP..even if your “special daddy” gets away with it a la sweeping things under the carpet…AFTER THIS SAGA,IN HIS LIFE IF HE SHOULD SPY TRAFFIC,HE WILL PERSONALLY GET DOWN AND DIRECT IT HIMSELF SAFELY AND IN A CULTURED MANNER, AND THEN DO THE FOOLS THANK YOU DANCE TO THE DAILY COMMUTERS…just so he lets us know that HE IS STILL THE DAMN FOOL…and he is grateful for the opportunity we have bestowed upon him to STILL mix in our midst..as per animals and humans now….wink wink…

    My dear child,I suggest you quit abusing your internet privileges,and go and grab your nearest bible,quran or as I can bet okija-dudu-juju and chant or pray to whoever you believe in..because this is going to be one hell of a long ride….SHAMELESS GIRL.
    I guess if Uzoma was your blood sister,you would open your dirty mouth to say that same trash eh?

    AND IF YOU LOOKING FOR ME…
    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DROP ME A MAIL…INFACT BE MY FUCKING GUEST..WA GBA PE…KHAKI NO BE LEATHER…
    BLOODY RASSCLAAT…
    A LIFE LIKE YOURS IS SOOOO DAMN EASY TO EMULATE…
