More than 300 Somali refugees forgotten in Mozambique jails

Yusuf Hussein Mohamoud, a Somali prisoner in one of Mozambique jail, who stealthily got a phone, has told state run Radio Mogadishu that more that more than 300 Somalis are in a jail in that country, calling for Somali transitional federal government intervening the issue and facilitate secure their release from what he called the bad jails in Mozambique.

With the appalling security and living conditions in Somalia, many Somalis have fled to everywhere around the world only to be indefinitely imprisoned in foreign jails.

Yusuf Hussein Mohamoud, is one such Somali refugee who is also a prisoner sitting in a Mozambique jail.

After he stealthily procured a cell phone, he started calling for help.

One of the phone calls he made was to Radio Mogadishu to reveal that there are more that more than 300 Somali citizens that are languishing jails in that country,.

Mohamoud has appealed for the new Somali transitional federal government to intervene in the issue and facilitate secure their release from what he called the horrible jails in Mozambique.

Unfortunately for the Somali's, whose central government was overthrown in 1991 have no embassies, consulates or other advocates capable of defending their rights, according to Mohamoud.

Mohamoud said he said that all of the Somali refugee prisoners in Mozambique live in poor conditions lacking adequate sanitation, food and medical care. He explained that many of the Somali refugee prisoners have medical conditions, diseases and disorders that go untreated by their wardens.
