Killing the Doctors

Recommended Posts

Salaan...

 

The sad and dire situation we are in had once again exampled by the unimaginable killing of a prominent optometrist in Muqdisho the other day by unknown assailants.

 

Dr. Xuseen Maxamed Nuur {Xuseeney} had been gunned down in just a few kilometres away from where he works, Mount Sinai hospital. Dr. Xuseen is best known for being one of the best eye specialists in Soomaaliya, and to others he is best known as the brother of Xasan Maxamed Nuur Shaatigaduud, a warlord.

 

By killing an eye specialist--which we don't have many to begin with--I don't know what those bandits lack--whether lacking the good morality of human nature or the tedency of enjoying murdering and kidnapping the professionals, members of the public and innocents.

 

I hope he wasn't murdered because of only having a brotherhood blood with a warlord.

 

Ilaahey ha u naxariisto. May Allah forgive his sins and may Allah grant him Janatul Fardowsa: Aamiin.

Indeed its very sad and shows how much ignorant these bandits are. As freind of mine told me "The motive was nothing but a revange taken by some gangs on the other side of the corner"

 

Ilaahey ha u naxariisto. May Allah forgive his sins and may Allah grant him Janatul Fardowsa: Aamiin.

 

Such an educated and productive person should not be targated.

Amiin Allaha u naxariisto. Another sign of irrational and destructive nature of Qabyaalada. Killing a doctor to avenge an unsettled political dispute! We have a looong way to go.

Not only it is sad, it is also disgusting to see someone who is doing to better your health,being killed like a target practice, i know somali brothers who are studying to become a docotrs, and some of them told me that when they finish their studies , they would like to go back, having read this story i would suggest the future doctors to reconsider,and value their lives, untill they apprehend these killers.

 

see you,am around dude

this sort of thing obstructs the stride for peace and it's idiots like this that ruin everything for the somali's.

 

i mean here we have a man who put his life at risk to save innocent somali's daily. then they rewarded him with bullets because he seemed to be the brother of their enemy. shaatiguduud is not better then them and will burn in hell among them.

shaatiguduud is not better then them and will burn in hell among them.

Duqa, you have absolutely no fore knowledge of who burns in hell or who goes to paradize. Ee marka ha dhihin hebeloow aa naar galaaya, iyo heblaayo aa jano galeyso.

P.S.: I read somewhere else that the doctor left Talyaaniga in early 90s to help his people, and he was rewarded to be murdered. How sad.

 

And he wasn't killed because of his qabiil or vengeance of some unsettled disputes. No. According to some stories, it was a kidnapping operation that ended tragically.

Macsalaama!!

This is very touching story,and it really affects me personally.To pick up a gun and aim it at another(Docotor) human being and to fire, it's not a human thing to do,It's not nice. It's not pleasant. It's gory, it's bloody. It overcomes every human instinct. the only thing that would be worse to me , would be to do nothing , and to

allow those killers loose, if the so called Somali gov, in that region don't act quickly, don't count those of us who are hoping to return in these killing fields, you guys better act quickly and find those thugs.

It might be sad but one thing that guarantees a seat at the 'Somali Unity Conference' is ability to do this sort of killing. Saying 'it is sad' does not solve anything. The doc is dead, the warlord is at the conference. :mad:

Point well taken A-Sheikh, but to be sad is better then not showing any feeling toward killing of innocent human life. Sure they might be having this meetings , but am only speaking for my heart , i have to show how saddening it is to me , it might not be to you, but it is in me. Cz i could have been that Doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOMALIA: Medical workers halt work in Mogadishu

 

NAIROBI, 7 Jul 2003 (IRIN) - Hundreds of medical workers in the capital, Mogadishu, held a one-day work stoppage on Sunday to protest against the killing of a prominent doctor in the city last week, one of the organizers told IRIN on Monday.

 

Dr Husayn Muhammad Nur, one of the best eye specialists in Mogadishu, and younger brother of faction leader Hasan Muhammad Nur Shatigadud, was gunned down in front of his clinic by unidentified gunmen on 3 July.

 

The work stoppage was called by the Somali Medical Association (SMA) and supported by all civil society organisations, including groups from the education sector, religious organisations and the business community, association member Dr Abdullahi Farah Aseyr said.

 

According to Aseyr, "all hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities" in the capital were closed for the day.

 

He said the stoppage affected "all routine work" and that only emergency cases were being treated.

 

Aseyr stressed that insecurity in the city, in particular the targeting of medical staff, was undermining their work. "We have had medical staff abducted and some maimed or killed," he said.

 

The aim of the strike was to encourage the residents of Mogadishu to take a stand against lawlessness and rampant crime, and to "make them understand that doctors and other professionals are resources Somalia can ill afford to lose". It was also intended to put pressure on the various factions to take responsibility for what happens in areas under their control.

 

"We want them to understand that this lawlessness cannot go on, and they must find a way to set up an all-inclusive administration capable of halting the current crime wave," he said.

 

Since the beginning of the civil war in 1990, over 27 doctors and some 50 other health professionals have been killed, while many more have left the country.
