Hope for war-traumatised Somalis

Upcoming election expected to help many move beyond scars caused by nation’s long-standing conflict.

Conflict in Somalia has left a lasting impact on its people. The World Health Organisation says one out of every three Somalis suffer from mental illness.

With an upcoming election, the Somali people hope to finally move beyond the scars – physical, mental and socio-political – left by the nation’s long-running conflict.
