Somalian women victims of al-Shabaab see Turkey as haven

ANKARA, TURKEY - MARCH 08: Four Somalian women who take shelter in Turkey escaping brutal attacks of al-Shabaab terror group share their expectations and missings with AA reporter on the International Women's Day in Ankara, Turkey on March 08, 2017. Sewda Mohammad Chamaa (40) tells that she had to come to Turkey 8 months ago by leaving her 3 children in Somalia. Safiye Muhammad Hassan (55) says that she had to flee Somalia after she lost her husband and laments that she couldn't bring her 2 children as well. Hind Abd Sind Mahmoud (44) tells that she had to escape from Somalia by leaving her 7 children behind as al-Shabaab issued death warrant for her simply because she was selling tea which the terror group sees as the breach of ban they brought for women. Ayan Mahmood Abdi (26) says she had no option than fleeing Somalia as the terror group slaughtered all male members of her family and she too was threatened with death. All 4 women's wish on International Women's Day is ending of all wars and living in freedom for all women. Women living in many parts of the world mired down wars, violence and powerty observe International Women's Day with somewhat bitter feelings.
