ACTIVIST HASSAN ADEN GUMO REITERATES THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFEGUARDING AND PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
Renown human rights activist and good governance crusader Mr Hassan Aden Gumo has reiterated the importance of educating the masses on their inalienable rights saying human rights is a universal thing that should never be denied to be accessed by all.
The award winning activist said government and those in leadership positions must ensure they follow the law accordingly by availing opportunities to those who they lead while adding that development is important aspect of any society that wants to thrive and grow.
"We must understand the role of human rights as empowering of individuals and communities. By protecting these rights, we can help prevent the many conflicts based on poverty, discrimination and exclusion (social, economic and political) that continue to plague humanity and destroy decades of development efforts. The vicious circle of human rights violations that lead to conflicts-which in turn lead to more violations-must be broken. I believe we can break it only by ensuring respect for all human rights" Mr Gumo said.
Mr Gumo urged the political leadership to ensure they use the public resources prudently and avoid engaging in vices like corruption and misappropriation.
