MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Officials say more than 35,000 children have been enrolled in a donor-funded program offering free education in Somalia, but the country’s al-Qaida-linked militant group has issued a new threat against the program, saying it secularizes children.
The government-run program —dubbed Go2School— was launched last year and has proved popular with parents and children who otherwise would not go to school.
