This Should Not Be :: World Food Programe Aid Worker Killed in Somalia

This should not be.

Abdulkadir Diad Mohamed was only 33 years old and was living his life to help others. He worked in Wajid, Somalia, Africa as an administration and finance assistant for the World Food Program and took a vacation to visit his family back home in Dinsor. But he wouldn't make it back.

He and his driver were abducted and killed as they tried to escape their captors. This is the first violent death of a WFP staff member in Somalia since 1993, according to the organization.

The Red Cross warned earlier this year that Somalia faces the worst famine since the early 1990s. The country's continual armed conflicts in central and southern Somalia have aggravated the situation, hindering people from accessing shelter and medical attention



My friends, this should not be.
