I’m deeply saddened to hear about the tragic and senseless assassination of Abdulkader Dheere Hussein, the goalkeeper of the Somalia U17 national team. This is a terrible loss for not only his family and the football community but also for Somalia as a whole.
It’s commendable to see the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA express their condolences and concern over this incident. These organizations have a significant influence in the world of football and can play a role in raising awareness about the importance of peace and stability in regions affected by violence.
The violence in Mogadishu and throughout Somalia has been a long-standing issue, and it’s essential for efforts to be made to promote peace and safety in the region. The murder of a young athlete like Abdulkader Hussein Dheere highlights the urgent need for peace and stability in Somalia.
I hope that the investigation by the Somali Football Federation and the relevant authorities can bring those responsible for this heinous act to justice. My thoughts and condolences go out to Abdulkader Dheere Hussein’s family, friends, and the entire football community in Somalia during this difficult time.
