#Thread All quiet on the home front: Since joining congress in 2017, @IlhanMN has bravely spoken about human rights issues in China, Turkey, Kashmir, Saudi Arabia & Yemen. But the congresswoman has been conspicuously quiet about Somalia. 1/4

Campaigning for @M_Farmaajo in 2017, @IlhanMN claimed that Somalis should filter out the bad news from Somalia. While in congress, this is exactly what has happened. The current admin of Farmaajo has run a vicious war against dissidents, media and the political opposition 2/4

@amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have done an admirable job documenting the war against democracy in Somalia. @ilhanMN’s silence is a disservice to her constituency, many who happen to be of Somali descent. 3/4

Her silence is unconscionable. Few days ago, @ilhanMN had a meeting with the @Ministermofa Predictably, in that conversation, no questions were raised about the escalating human rights violations. @ilhanMN has to raise up to the occasion. Her silence can no longer be ignored 4/4
