She was killed Friday when al-Shabab militants stormed the Asasey Hotel in Kismayo, killing at least 26 people. It took around 14 hours for Somali security forces to regain control of the hotel, where another journalist and at least one American were among the dead.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the article to view the "reactions" section... Ms. Nalayeh has brought joy and laughter to quite a few people.
 
“She understood, as every good storyteller does, that the little moments in life matter just as much as the big ones,” Asad Hussein said. “Hodan noticed the people bathing in the ocean, the orchards in the courtyards, and the radiance of the setting sun, and she knew those were stories, too.”

Wonder why she ever left such a paradise?
 
"On July 3, Nalayeh retweeted a message from a Twitter user that praised her for her work “countering the doom narrative propagated by many about Somalia.”

Well, I fought the narrative and the narrative won. Shame Omar could not have been sharing a room with her, signing the praises of their beautiful homeland.


You'd think at some point people would realize that these "send us your violent, timid, listless, lazy, dumb, poor, arrogant, unmotivated, and often times criminal masses yearning to consume free shit" types have a poor track record when it comes to decision making. I mean, in countless examples, this one being a very notable one, the expectations were SOOOOOOOOO far diverged from reality that it pretty much makes sense to consider the person what thunk 'em to be completely fucking retarded.

And there are folks out there who don't see a problem with putting these dimwitted dumbfucks in positions of power.

One issue with American is the myopic, dimwitted idea that "it won't happen here". 9/11 was a shock because of the enormity of what happened but also because it happened on our own soil. Socialism in the US will not be the same as the historical exampled because it is the US. "We will allow these savages into the US because, well, they will change because it is the US." As a country we just simply need to collectively wake the fuck up.

Omar will never return...unless there is money to be had.
