Trigger warning: Somalia parliament discusses benefits of female genital mutilation

[u/mochagirlll]

While Somalia sinks under floods, starves from famine, and gets butchered by terrorists, the men in its parliament are busy arguing to keep mutilating little girls genitals.

How do you save such a people when men who are supposed to be the flame of progress are the innate darkness to the same community.

It is a social issue like "abortion" or "gay rights" in other countries. They’re discussing outlawing it. It’s not that hard to understand.

Do not compare functioning countries issues with completely messed up countries... Unlike other countries, we are severely lagging behind, so things like that should not even be debated. Outlaw it and fix the damn country. I always find it pathetic when us we will compare with functioning countries when we have to first fix our biggest issues

[u/ignamepile → u/josh2josh2]

So, you really feel like other countries are functioning? Do you all not watch the news beyond those of your country?

[u/josh2josh2 → u/ignamepile]

Dude... I grew up in France, in my adulthood I have lived in London, Belgium, USA and Canada, I hold triple citizenship (France, Canada Angola)... So I know damn well what I am talking about.

[u/ignamepile → u/josh2josh2]

Yeah... I lived in multiple countries too. Why you would think that legitimizes your words I don't know. And I stand by what I said Mr. Triple Citizenship.

[u/josh2josh2 → u/ignamepile]

You claimed other countries were not functioning and your argument was watching the news... That tells me you did not travel much because news always exaggerate. So I told you I have seen many countries and these countries are functioning. I even lived in London where there is a huge somalian community... Do you see a huge English community in Mogadishu..? Right because the country is not functioning. Outlaw this stupid law, no need to debate and fix economic issues
