Kismayo, 2 May 2021 It all started as a pimple, then festering wounds that spread rapidly, to his limbs and other parts of the body, rendering him immobile.
This is a condition that 12-year-old Ahmed Sahal Osman, who hails from Afmadow town in Lower Jubba region of Somalia, about 120 kilometres west of Kismayo has been battling with for almost two years.
Mohamed Nur Mohamed recalls that day in September 2018 when he first spotted what appeared to be a pimple on his nephew s skin. His illness started with repetitive infection which would burst after days. It was very painful. He could neither sleep nor eat, Mohamed, Sahal s uncle says.
