East Africa: Women's Political Participation in Greater Horn of Africa is at Dangerous Impasse

[We Cannot Wait Consortium] We as the women's rights activists of the We Cannot Wait Consortium* are in mourning after the loss of MP Amina Mohamed Abdi who was killed along with 47 others in a suicide bomb attack in Beledweyn. Amina was a member of the Union for Peace and Development Party and an MP on the committee on humanitarian affairs. She had been serving as an MP since 2012, when she first won a parliamentary seat at the age of 24.
