At around 3:00 PM today gunmen broke into the house of a friend Yahia and killed him infront of his wife and children. He was Directore of Center for Research and Dialogue in partnership with War-Torn Societies organization. May God rest his soul in peace.
Truth. Can it be killed?
No. Not absolutely
You can shoot it anytime
But never shall it die
You can bury it here today
But never shall it perish
There it will rise tomorrow
I am a Somali journalist
I am a writer. I am a poet
I am a civl society activist
I am a human rights defender
I am your voice in the world
I am the voice of the voiceless
I am on air. I'm on wire
I carry pens not guns
I defend your identity, existence
Please don't kill me
"... I am your voice in the world
I am the voice of the voiceless
I am on air. I'm on wire
I carry pens not guns
I defend your identity, existence ..."
I'm so sorry for your loss, Abdi! Continue writing, continue speaking! The truth can NEVER be killed!
My heart is with you. They're trying hard to kill the truth, but I believe you are correct. It can't be done. How many lives will it take before they realize this?
Those who fear truth often seek to extinquish truth's life force, yet it will burn eternal for there will always be those who have faith and courage and determination. The only blessing is that your friend faces a gentler world now; and the gunmen (and those who order them) will one day face the truth of their crimes.
This is a powerful, heart-felt, truthful write -- your words prove that the truth will live on.
Namaska, the God in me salutes/honors the God in you Brother Abdi. Stay strong and know that there are many here who pray for you and yours and your country. Love Mikii

Yes, we are now just a few steps from the SLAVEYARD...
IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE TO DEMAND RESPECT FOR THEIR RIGHTS. But, before that people must learn their rights and social responsibilities.
Sad news indeed! My condolences to your friend's family. It is worst to kill one in front of his relative. What terror must have gone through the children's mind. It will affect them for the rest of their lives.
So sad indeed!
