About

An atrocious act against the peace

Osman Ali Ahmed was the head of United Nations Development Program in Somalia.

On Sunday, 6th July 2008 unknown gunmen shot him dead as he as he was leaving evening prayers in the mosque in Bulohube, in the south of  Mogadishu, the capital of his beloved country. He later died of the injuries in an African Union peacekeepers' hospital. One of Ahmed's companions was also injured in the attack.

His wife, Nasteho Abukar Yusuf, confirmed Ahmed's death.


We can only hope that the murderers will be found and judged guilty, as it is such a terrible thing - to kill someone coming to help in finding the peace.

Our prayers and thoughts stay with Mrs Yusuf and other family members.

My Memory

Such a loss... when we hear news like that we can ask ourselves only one question - why him, who was so involved in the fight for a better world? It's just so unfair...
