He was an NGO worker. They now target them, he’s the third in one week – UNDP has fled.

really sorry for that. a big missunderstanding in conflict contests since army started to do aid work. one day shooting, one day air dropping from the same uniform.

His name was Mohamed Mohamud Qeyre, but everyone called him MMK. He was the deputy director of a local aid group affiliated to the German organization “Bread for the World.”
“Two men shot him three times in the head and the ribs,” a witness said.

Sorry to hear Guy, keep safe.

It’s heartbreaking. These men have been there for me so many times putting their lives on the line so that mine would be safe and that the story that needed to get out made it out. My condolences.

Just ran across this on the Times and think it explains pretty well what so many, who are trying so desperately, are facing in order to make things just a little more livable:
