Somali Women’s Minister Osman Aqil Kidnapped by Al-Shabaab in Drought Area

By Hamsa Omar - 2011-07-21T13:17:49Z

Somalia’s newly appointed minister of women’s development, Asha Osman Aqil, was kidnapped by al- Shabaab insurgents , said Work, Youth and Sports Minister Mohamed Muhidin Mursal.

Aqil was seized at Johwar, 90 kilometers northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, Mursal said in a phone interview today from the city. The minister was “assisting drought-affected people in Jowhar on behalf of non-governmental organizations” when she was captured, Mursal said.

The United Nations declared a famine in the Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions of southern Somalia yesterday following a prolonged drought.
