They don't want Somali women to be more successful than them because of the "raag baa meesha jooga" mentality. Disgusting.
It's scary because Somali women will outnumber Somali men soon, if we don't already outnumber them. The future of Somalia depends on Somali women and their prospects. Somali woman have proven to be very resilient and business savvy but we can't break these barriers without the help of our male counterparts. Kudos to Amal Bank, this is a step in the right direction!
