Somali men secretly sent to Eritrea military force: Eritrea is known to be one of the world’s most secretive countries. When the officials from Somaliaâs National Intelligence Agency arrived with $10,000 in cash Ali Jamac Dhoodi realised that his son had died in Eritrea.Â
Dhoodi, like many other parents in Somalia, were made to believe that their sons were being recruited by Somaliaâs federal government for jobs in Qatar. But the truth was these young men were forced to serve in the military force of Eritrea against their will.
It was in last April that the official approached Dhoodi with cash as compensation for his dead son in Eritrea. He had thought that his son was working as a security guard in Qatar, helping prepare for next yearâs soccer World Cup.
