We strongly and unequivocally condemn the inhumane and degrading treatment inflicted upon a child, as evidenced by visible physical scars caused by severe corporal punishment reportedly carried out by a teacher.

This act is not only morally reprehensible but also a serious violation of international human rights standards, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), both of which prohibit any form of torture or cruel treatment of individuals, especially children.

According to Article 19 of the CRC, State Parties are obliged to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, maltreatment or exploitation. Furthermore, Article 37 of the same Convention prohibits torture and any other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Under international law and ethical obligation, no teacher or guardian has the right to subject a child to such brutality under any circumstance, whether in the name of discipline or otherwise.

We call upon:
• Relevant authorities to launch an urgent and transparent investigation.
• Legal action to be taken against the perpetrator in accordance with national and international laws.
• Child protection agencies and civil society to offer psychological and medical support to the victim.
• Educational institutions to reinforce policies that protect children from all forms of abuse and promote non-violent discipline methods.

Torture is a crime. No child should suffer in silence. We must act to protect our children and hold abusers accountable.

The Impact of the Gu’ Rainy Season on Displaced Communities Living in Makeshift Shelters
As the Gu’ rainy season approaches, heavy rains and potential floods are expected across several regions of Somalia. While this season is traditionally associated with agricultural renewal, for displaced persons living in fragile makeshift shelters, it brings serious risks and fears.
Main Concerns:
1. Flooding: Most IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) settlements are located in low-lying areas and lack proper drainage systems. Heavy rains may cause severe flooding, putting lives and limited belongings at risk.
2. Shelter Collapse and Exposure: The makeshift shelters, often built with flimsy materials like plastic sheets and sticks, are unlikely to withstand heavy rain and strong winds. This may lead to widespread shelter collapse, leaving families exposed to the elements.
3. Health Risks: Stagnant water and lack of sanitation increase the risk of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and diarrhea. Mosquito breeding will also rise, heightening the risk of malaria outbreaks.
4. Food Insecurity: Accessibility to IDP camps could be compromised if roads become impassable due to flooding. This could disrupt the delivery of food aid and other essential supplies.

Urgent Appeal:

We call on humanitarian agencies, government bodies, and civil society to take urgent preventative action:
• Reinforce or provide flood-resistant temporary shelters.
• Ensure the availability of clean water and emergency sanitation facilities.
• Provide mobile health services and preventive vaccinations.
• Develop contingency plans for emergency evacuations from high-risk areas.

Conclusion:

While the Gu’ rains are vital for the environment and agriculture, they pose a serious humanitarian threat to displaced communities. It is imperative that proactive steps are taken to safeguard lives before the rains begin in full force.
