"Ifrah is a well-known human rights activist, and I could not believe that Belgian gov’t has refused her claim of ayslum” Chairman of daryeel Association Abdullahi Ali Salad told to Sunames.com on the line from Sweden.
Ifrah whom we have interviewed in Belgium told us that as a result of the Belgian rejection, she claimed her asylum in France, but later on request another asylum request to Belgium.
She told us that the reason of the rejection was "the ID of Daryeel Association in new, and has not been used before”.
Her lawyer, Alexander Loobuyck said "I am bound by my professional secrecy. I’ll give you my comments after I saw her, so I can ask for her approval”.
Al-Shabab is known for targeting journalists and female Activist in their homes.
"Now [I'm fleeing] Somalia but before I left I had already had to flee from my family to keep them safe,” she said.
But these precautions haven’t shielded her from frequent death threats from al-Shabab by phone and text
Ifrah Guled is a well-known figure in the IDP camps in Mogadishu. She was forefront in the women and girl rights campaigns.
Belgium is one of the best countries in the world which grants asylum to the needy Somali refugees, but the rejection of Ifrah’s plea can attributed to misunderstanding on suspicious issues based on communication barrier.
However, Sunatimes.com saw a letter from the daryeel Association, clearly stating that Ifrah was working with the NGO.
Somalia is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a female activist or journalist. A failed state where extremists and criminal gangs operate with impunity

ASOJ.ORG - Associated Somali Journalists has today published New guidance (advices) setting out how journalists and media houses in Somalia can meet their media duties as they navigate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Remember Somali Goverment hijacked the elections of Hirshabelle, Southwest, and Galmudug states, while Jubbaland and Puntland people have fended their states from being aggressively and corruptly hijacked like other three states.
After 30 years of dictatorship and civil war, the Somali people pulled off a qualified consensus on forming a new state that is different from the obliterated one. The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia is vested with the awesome responsibility and authority to steer the formation of the new state. Successive elected presidents strived to some extent to fulfill their awesome responsibilities with the exception of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo who strived to tear Somalia apart for good.
Al-Shabaab is more than just a terrorist group. In 2011, its annual revenue was in the region of $70–100 million per year. In 2018, the President of the Somali Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) confirmed that Al-Shabaab collected an estimated $20 million dollars from South Somalia alone.
Somalia suffers from the disgraceful culture of leaders and politicians invoking deceptively legitimate documents like the Provisional Constitution for bolstering false claims and arguments or for obfuscating critical search for truth. That culture has undermined the requirement of truth, good faith, and accountability in the public life and dashed the public hope for democratic state of Somalia governed by the rule of law and democratic values.
