Complicated Posted January 11, 2010 In 2001, he organized a meeting for doctors in Mogadishu where he announced his plans. At that meeting, he was quoted as saying: “For too long, I’ve waited for the return of a central government that can fulfill its national obligations. But since time is not on my side, I have decided to stop waiting and find a way to transfer my knowledge to the next generation of doctors.” A year later, despite the prevailing conditions in Mogadishu, he established the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery at Banadir University. It was on the happy occasion of witnessing the graduation of the second class of doctors at Banadir University that he died a “shahiid” (a martyr). Seldom does a person’s name foretell his or her fate. Dr. Mohamed Aden Warsame, popularly known as “Dr. Shahiid,” was among the few whose names predicted their fate: On December 3rd, 2009, a suicide bomber targeted him and others at an event meant to celebrate the new brass of doctors he helped to nurture.
