"Islamists in southern Somalia have stoned a man to death for adultery but spared his pregnant girlfriend until she gives birth."

Further on down...

"A 13-year-old girl was stoned to death for adultery in the southern town of Kismayo last year.

Human rights groups said she had been raped. "

Wow. At least in Pakistan after they had transmitted images of teenage girls getting lashed the public responded. Here's hoping that there is someone..anyone..left sane in Somalia.

Somalia hasn't been a nation state for almost two decades. It's mob rule.

That is very sad and very disgusting.

One thing I'll never get is how male dominated some cultures are.

A man rapes a girl, and she is the one who is stoned to death.

I know that they should know the rules and laws of their culture, but they're still whack as fuck.

Yes it is.

The fall of the Soviet Union, which drove up prices of goods because they were no longer subsidized. The dictatorship was delegitimized and there was a civil war between the Somali dictatorship and the warlords.
