Puntland's Judicial system and the armed forces have agreed that there will be no more blood money for rapists or prison sentences.
ONLY DEATH.
Ya rabb, may the parliament pass this as law and let's kill them all.

You telling me rapist in Somalia can get away by paying blood money?
What a backward hellhole
What's even more backwards and sad is a foreigner on a SOMALI website.
Pathetic. Which Somali girl turned you down?

Somaliaβs first forensic lab targets rape impunity
February 26, 2018
GAROWE, Somalia (AFP) β The new freezers at Somaliaβs only forensic laboratory can store thousands of DNA samples, although for now there are just five.
The big hope is that they could be the start of a revolution in how the troubled Horn of Africa country tackles its widespread sexual violence β provided some daunting hurdles are overcome.
The first sample arrived at the start of the year taken on a cotton swab from the underwear of a woman, a rape victim from the village of Galdogob.
It was wrapped in paper and driven 250 kilometres to the Puntland Forensic Centre in Garowe, capital of semi-autonomous Puntland, slipped into a protective glass tube and placed in one of the three ultra-low temperature fridges.
If DNA ID can be teased from the sample, this would be a crucial step in convicting the womanβs rapist.
No longer would it be a case of he-said-she-said, in which the survivor is less often believed than the accused. Two decades of conflict and turmoil have made Somalia a place where lawlessness and sexual violence are rampant.
βNow, people who have been raped hide because they donβt have evidence,β said Abdifatah Abdikadir Ahmed, who heads the Garowe police investigation department.
But with the lab, he said, βitβs a scientific investigation. There are biological acts you can zero in on.β
Not yet, however.

Abdirashid Mohamed Shire, who runs the lab, has a team of four technicians ready but is awaiting the arrival of the final pieces of equipment.
Their work to provide the evidence that might convict or exonerate is yet to begin.
And the pressure is on. The freezers mean the DNA samples can be safely stored for years but Somali law allows a rape suspect to be held for a maximum of 60 days. Shire needs the analysis and identification machines urgently so that, as he put it, βjustice will be timely servedβ.
The laboratory, partly funded by Sweden, was launched last year after the Puntland state government enacted a Sexual Offences Act in 2016, which criminalised sexual offences and imposed tough penalties.
But technology alone will not solve Somaliaβs many judicial weaknesses.
The DNA sample from Galdogob, for example, was stored in unclear and unrefrigerated conditions for five days before being sent to the lab, meaning a defence counsel could potentially argue the DNA evidence had been tampered with.
Human rights lawyers worry the new lab might backfire for this reason.
βA lot of thought needs to be given to how the chain of custody can be preserved in these kinds of cases,β said Antonia Mulvey of Legal Action Worldwide, a Kenya-based non-profit organisation.
More fundamental still is the failure of Somaliaβs police to take sexual assault cases β and their jobs β seriously.
Corruption is rife, with a legal advisor to Puntlandβs justice ministry saying officers βmeddleβ in cases, undermining them for personal gain.
βMy concern is that the corrupted system could not make a sure success of the lab,β the advisor said, requesting anonymity to speak candidly. βInvesting in the lab is good, but we need to think about the preconditions.β
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) which helped pay for the lab is trying to address this by running training programmes for dozens of the Garowe police on sample collection, gender violence investigations and documentation.
But, the legal advisor cautioned that donors can only do so much. βThe issue is more complicated than training police. It relates to the political commitment of the government. UNFPA can train police but who will pay those you train? Are they given power to do the work?β

Even the Galdogob case was solved by this lab, they found DNA samples on her underwear.
ALL rapists WILL get caught insha'Allah and killed.
Rape/Crimes occur all over the world, it's the aftermath which reflects the character of a state and people.
Guul Puntland.

In order for every victim to get justice we need to invest in our health, forensic and police department. I am filled with joy seeing the forensic equipments the Garowe hospital has which enables them to get justice for the poor victims faster.
We need to really invest in our forensic departments all around Puntland. There needs to be some sort of a charity set up for this initiative.

I don't follow the logic, are you saying since he is gonna die either way, he might as well kill?
Our prayers have been her by the almighty

Puntland Diaspora in Denmark ask for Rapists to be killed, publicly. They also said that if the Galdogob rapists were punished accordingly and not handled 'internally', this incident may not have occurred.
Enough is enough. Zero tolerance for deviants.
