Somali Muslims who beat and raped a Christian mother of four in January began sending threatening messages more than a year ago at a refugee camp in Kenya.
The 41-year-old Somali woman was a Muslim living in Somalia with her husband when he sent her and their four children to Kenya’s Ifo refugee camp in Dadaab, near the Somali border, in 2016. She put her faith in Christ a year later, though it remained a secret until Somali Muslims saw her coming from church worship at Dadaab International Worship Centre in 2018.
‘We have known that you are a Christian, and one of us saw you come out of a church on Sunday,’ read one threat. ‘If you continue attending the church, then we shall come for your head soon.’
