“Our country is different from other countries in the world in terms of the number of people who are disabled due to the bombings and brutal attacks of the Khawarijs (Al-Shabaab group) which has greatly led to a significant increase in the number of Somali people who are disabled,” said Prime Minister Hamse.
Every year, the world celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and it is worth noting that the Federal Government of Somalia is one of the governments that signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
