A Somali-Canadian Journalist Returned To Somalia To Tell ‘Uplifting’ Stories. Terrorists Killed Her
The Washington Post ^ | 07/13/19 | Siobhan O'Grady

Hodan Nalayeh spent the last days of her life doing what she loved most: sharing a side of Somalia rarely depicted in the West. On Twitter, she posted photos of young boys grinning on the island of Ilisi, fresh fish and lobsters pulled straight from the Indian Ocean and a colorful sunset from the port city of Kismayo.

“It was an incredible day to witness #Somalia’s beauty,” the Somali-Canadian journalist wrote.

Then, on Friday, al-Shabab militants stormed the Asasey Hotel in Kismayo, killing at least 26 people, including Nalayeh, 43, and her husband, Farid Jama Suleiman. An additional 56 people were wounded. It took around 14 hours for Somali security forces to regain control of the hotel, where several tribal elders and another journalist, Mohamed Sahal Omar, were also killed. At least one American was among the dead, the State Department confirmed.

Not much “uplifting” about going 6 feet under

The only story that could top this would be a ship-load of environmentalists, trapped in the ice and eaten by polar bears.

Don’t know what the odd phrase “Somali diaspora” is supposed to describe, but it can’t possibly be a good thing.

I’m surprised the ComPost even mentioned that story.

"The Somali diaspora refers to expatriate Somalis who reside in areas of the world that have traditionally not been inhabited by their ethnic group."

Ilhan Abdullahi Omar Is the worst kind of diaspora..........

Lefties who break the law should serve out their sentences in those countries they love smooch. Give them just enough of an allowance to get by. A lot cheaper.

The term is code for Somali pollution of the earth

The earth has been diasporized, polluted with Somalis

Why give them any allowance at all?

America is the evil place with no social safety net like *everyone* else has.

Let them use the social safety net in whatever 3rd world shthole they love so much.

I’m not surprised the ComPost didn’t mentioned that in the story the terrorists were Islamic.

“A Somali-Canadian Journalist Returned To Somalia To Tell ‘Uplifting’ Stories.”

It just hasn’t been done right yet (like socialism).

Perhaps if a Somali-American politician were to go to fix their problems...

The Somali Diaspora is identical to the German Diaspora that took place from 1935 to 1945 and it too should be ruthlessly and utterly destroyed.
