Trauma Tax is Africa's Hidden Economic Burden - Death tolls and displacement figures dominate headlines. What goes unmeasured is the invisible psychological toll... A disproportionate share of that traumatized generation is African. https://t.co/9rwBXzrvb9 @mohamedaali #Africa

Collective trauma is real, and its impact cannot be denied.

To heal and move forward, we must acknowledge the shared pain that exists within our communities…whether it is in Mogadishu or Dayton Ohio

[Mohamed Ali Diini (Mo Diini) @mohamedaali]

On the phone with a friend in Ohio: walking out of a mall with his 10yr old, he said, a car backfired. He tensed, heart racing, grabbing his son, fearing a gunshot, fearing the worst.

What the convo abt mental health and guns in America misses --lessons from Mogadishu: 🧵

[Mohamed Ali Diini (Mo Diini) @mohamedaali]

In Somalia we used storytelling as a means to heal those who have endured acts of terrorism as tool for healing collective trauma. By sharing our stories, we process trauma, forge connections, and reinforce the understanding that we are not isolated in our experiences.
