In the old barbaric ages people's lives had been dominated by superstition. History shows that those communities residing along the coastal areas of Eastern Africa used to kill a girl to satisfy the Gods lest they continue sending powerful winds to destroy the people and their properties. Such atrocities against women used to take place in Somalia which enjoys a long coastal line of more than 2000Kms. Winds usually start on December of every year and last until end of February or beginning of March and the season is widely known in Mogadishu as ISTAQFUROW. These winds make the coastal towns and cities covered with an envelope of dust.

The monsoon winds blew over
Fear had gripped them tightly
Time to appease Gods arrived

Animals had been slaughtered
The sea drank unsullied blood
But still the wids didn't stop

The more goats they had killed
The harsher the winds raged on
The Gods didn’t feel satisfied

A human blood was now offered
A girl was brought at the seaside
A man chopped off her little head
The life of a virgin was thus taken
