Somalia and the world have lost a great human rights advocate with the death of Ambassador Yusuf Mohamed Ismail ‘Bari Bari’ the Permanent Representative of Somalia to the United Nations in Geneva.

That’s according to the UN Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia, Bahame Tom Mukirya Nyanduga.

Ambassador ‘Bari Bari’ died in a terrorist bomb attack in a hotel in the Somali capital, Mogadishu which reportedly claimed the lives of at least five other Somalis on Friday last week.

The Al Shabaab terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Priscilla Lecomte spoke with Mr Nyanduga on the line from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
