EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant daily life of Somali school girls at Howlwadag Primary School in the Howlwadag District, located south of Mogadishu. Taken on October 5,2016, by renowned photographer Mohamed Abdiwahab for Agence France-Presse (AFP), it showcases a heartwarming scene during lunch break. In this image, we see a group of young girls joyfully engaged in a game of football on their school playground. Dressed in traditional Islamic veils and wearing white-colored casts that symbolize purity and innocence, these pupils exude determination and enthusiasm as they chase after the soccer ball. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the resilience and spirit of these young Somali girls who are defying societal norms to pursue their passion for sports. It serves as a powerful testament to their unwavering commitment towards education while simultaneously embracing activities traditionally associated with boys. Through this snapshot, Abdiwahab expertly captures not only the physical landscape but also the emotional landscape within which these children navigate daily life. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition highlight both their individuality and collective strength. This print is an inspiring reminder that despite facing numerous challenges in war-torn Somalia, children continue to find solace and joy through play. It celebrates the power of education as well as the universal language of sport that transcends cultural boundaries.
