00:00Somalia is in a national period of mourning for the over 600 people killed or injured
00:10in a bombing this weekend.
00:12As of press time, at least 70 people remain missing, while dozens of others are being
00:16flown to Turkey for medical treatment.
00:18This is one of the deadliest bombings in the world's history.
00:22Which leads us to this, where are all the thoughts and prayers for Somalia?
00:26Law professor Khalid Baidun went in on Facebook about the lack of media coverage for the attack.
00:31So we're just gonna let him take it from here.
00:34This is an expected effect of structural Islamophobia and anti-black racism that deserves critique
00:40and both middle fingers.
00:43So do our own, who swiftly rush to express solidarity with European and American cities, but stay
00:48silent when terror of an even greater scale strikes cities that are predominantly Muslim,
00:53black, brown, and poor.
00:55So F it.
00:56I am Mogadishu.
