Dedication to Mr Abdikarim Hashi Kadiye

Shared by Leo Matunga, Nutrition Cluster Coordinator, Somalia

We extend condolences to the family and friends of Mr Abdikarim Hashi Kadiye and Mr Duale, who died on the 12th of January 2011 in Somalia. Mr Kadiye the head of Tofiiq Umbrella Development organisations (TUOS) and also, the nutrition cluster focal point for Hiran and Galgaduud, had just recently organised and chaired the Hiran- Galgaduud cluster meeting on the 10th of January 2011. Mr Kadiye was killed together with his driver, Mr Duale, in an ambush by unknown gunmen between Dhusamareb and El Dhere. This is a senseless loss of life and a huge loss to the work of the cluster in the region. Mr Kadiye had been the nutrition focal person for Galgaduud for almost a year now, was a hard working member of the cluster, and had tried under difficult conditions to continue to organise partners meetings in the area and ensure smooth operations of the nutrition programme.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr Kadiye and Mr Duale’s families, friends and the TUOS staff.
