Somalia

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

The country’s first effort to flush out Al Shabaab terrorists has been completed, noting that the government is preparing troops who work specifically to secure the gains made in the liberated areas. The people of Somalia have come together to eliminate the terrorist groups. The security forces have shown discipline and loyalty in facing challenges and threats.

We pray for the complete dismantling of the al Shabaab terrorist group along with other splinter groups linked to the Islamic State that operate violently in Somalia (The Holy Bible, Ezekiel 13:14).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Somalia is an East African country that ranks 2nd in the Open Doors Persecution List of Countries. In effect, it is the African Continent’s North Korea. No part of this country is safe for Christians. The al-Shabab, a ruthless terrorist group targets Christians and Christian leaders. This terrorist group is fighting a war against the legitimate Somalian government and the Islamic State remnants in the region. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, yet there is no action from the government to take measures to deal with the problems. This politically unstable environment continues due to greed. Christian leadership is scarce, and there is no scope for fellowship.
