Somali Social media has exploded with condolences


For the my kids @Gorgon , @IntensiveCareUnit , @methylamine , @AbdiJohnson , @bandit @Solid ..here's the English version


@waraabe, @Tokio and @ciddhartha except my condolences since he was your lineage

Also he was the personal spokes person if Siyad Barre..pay attention to the voice narrating the visit of Barre to Barbera in the 1980s


For my Canadian idiots who don't know him just compare him to your Peter Mansbridge

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. May Allah have mercy on his soul.

He was a close family friend and neighbor of my maternal family. My mother knew him personally and all three of the women he was married to during his life. He was a warm-hearted person that would light up any room. May the Almighty grant him Jannah.
