“Any Somalian who claims to be a Christian is an apostate, and Christians face serious persecution or death. “Only recently we heard about three Christians who were shot dead as they came back from an international prayer meeting in Mogadishu. “Meanwhile a Christian family had their house set on fire, with the mother and daughter who survived suffering serious burns.
“Even Somalian Christians who manage to escape to Kenya still suffer persecution from Somali Muslims who have also fled across the border.” CSW is currently lobbying the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to recognise the plight of Somali Christian refugees and their need for special consideration. Open Doors UK, an organisation which highlights the plight of persecuted Christians around the world, places Somalia as the fourth worst place for Christians to live on their World Watch List, after North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
In their synopsis of the situation, they write: “In Somalia, there is no constitution or any legal provision for the protection of religious freedom. The federal government is very weak as the warlords still have some control in different parts of Somalia. Islam is the official religion and social pressure is strong to respect Islamic tradition, especially in certain rural parts of the country. "
