Angola: Somalis in Angola Jails Still Complaining, Need for Urgent Help

The Somali citizens in Angola jails are still complaining and saying that they facing very appalling living conditions.

Those Somalis have been in jails of Luanda for more than one year and they undergo constant torture from the jail wardens.

Dahir Ugas Mire, a spokesperson for Somali community in Angola told Shabelle Radio that those Somalis who are in the prisons are in their hardest lifetime.

Mr. Mire added that they eat once a day. He said the government of Angola ordered the young Somali young guys to leave the country soon as immigrants.

The spokesman warned that those guys may die of hunger and torture if the violations against them continue.

He also called on the parents of the jailed men and women in Angola to stage huge complaint protests in front of Somali president office to demand the release of their jailed sons and daughters.

However, Somalia's minister of planning and international cooperation recently said they are planning to free the Somali nationals in Angola jails.
