Somali journalist remembered. On Sunday, December 18, news reporter Abdisalan Sheikh Hasan was
injured in an attack on his car while on the way to a press conference, succumbing later
despite medical efforts to gunshot wounds. The freelance journalist contributed to the
Horn Cable TV channel, as well as Hamar Radio and Voice of Democracy. Speaking in sorrow
for his passing, Horn Cable Director Abdulle Haj Ali said, "Hassan was a very ... professional
journalist who relayed very neutral coverage... I ... cannot understand why anyone would target
such a professional and likeable journalist."
We send our respectful condolences to the family and colleagues for the untimely loss
of Mr. Abdisalan Sheikh Hasan. May his soul rest peacefully in Heaven's love and grace
as we pray for all journalists' protection as they endeavor to share accurate and timely
information that brings clarity and understanding to our world�
