XoogSADE14: For your information, Afdhere Sama was in a time one of the most respected forumers here, in Somalinet, way long before the wahabists appeared here with the fanatic shit of how to behave, how to dress, how to chop a clitoris, how to pray to Allah and how to behead a woman. And yes, Afdhere is homosexual and a brilliant activist for human rights all around the world, human rights for women and human rights for children. You should read his magazine online, which is one of the most brilliant Somali magazines all around the world: controversial, asking for all kind of opinions and curious about everything that is happening in Somalia, from the case of a lesbian woman condemned to death penalty till the status of children in Rwanda.
Afdhere: I read the article on ZERO magazine and let me say: GREAT.
There's now a great controversy in Spain about the homosexual marriages that the Spanish Parlament allowed last july. The fascists, as always, like the theologians and the priests, started to scream to the heavenly skies "this is the end of the family", as though every Spaniard has to marry to a homosexual or something.
My suggestion for a next number of your magazine is to write a full report, with vivid pictures, raw pictures, about the procedure of Female Genital Mutilation in Somalia or the Infibulation in Sudan: To show Somali girls what is, really, and how it goes, a Female Genital Mutilation, in order to stop this fantasy that FGM is such a purification thing or "that's not bad at all".
Someone has to say: This is the FGM. Look at it. See it. Watch the pictures. Once you've seen them, say: "FGM is not that bad".
Your magazine can be the pick on the iceberg. Keep this good job, sxb.
