Suldaanka Posted April 2, 2004 Alaaya raxma raxmiin What exactly happened to him? We heard reports say that he was unconscious when he arrived in Addis Abeba, and then Raggeh Omaar said yesterday on BBC that although very ill, Abdelmajed was conscious and was talking to people. It was very touching to learn that Abdelmajed had seen and talked to his mother (one of his wishes) 3 hours before he passed away. Very sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
