SWSC wishes to share our deepest condolences with the families and friends who lost loved ones and those who were injured during the attack at Medina hotel – ex Asasey Hotel, Kismayo, Jubbaland, Somalia on 12th July 2019.
This is a special tribute to Hodan Naleyeh, a valiant champion and inspirational media personality who was killed alongside her husband, and leaves behind two children.
Hodan was the founder of Integration TV, a platform she set up so that she can change the narrative of Somalia in the news. She touched so many lives and reported about the beauty, hope and resilience of Somalia, despite negative portrayal as a hostile, hopeless and war-ton environment.
We may have lost Hodan during the tragic attack, but we will never forget her.
Rest in eternal peace, Hodan.
