Somali-Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh returned to Somalia in May to document what life is like in the African country. Her goal was simple: she wanted to show the world that Somalia wasn't as dangerous as everyone thought, despite the country's struggle with war and terrorist attacks. Nalayeh took to Instagram to share her excitement, saying for the first time in 30 years she was living in Somalia. She frequently posted pictures that showed how beautiful Somalia is. But fast forward eight weeks later and Nalayeh is dead. According to CNN, Nalayeh died when a terrorist attack took place in Kismayo, about 300 miles south of Mogadish, the capital. A suicide bomber had detonated a vehicle outside of the Asasey Hotel and multiple gunmen opened fire inside the hotel. Nalayeh was one of the 26 people who died at the hands of the gunmen. Her husband, Farid Jama Suleiman, also died in the attack. Another 50 were injured. The Islamist group al-Shabab took credit for the attack, which was the worst attack the city saw since 2012, BBC reported. Nalayeh was born in Somalia in the 1970s but her family moved to Canada when she was six-years-old. She founded a YouTube channel called Integration TV, with the mission of "building a community of inspiring and uplifting stories for Somalis worldwide." Her family took to Facebook to share the news and ask for privacy while mourning. "She spent her life devoted to serving the Somali people and reporting on positive, uplifting stories. Her dedicated mission was to spread light and love to the Somali world through her work in journalism," the family said. "She died serving the Somali community everywhere and doing what she loved most. She brought inspiration and hope to the Somali people through story telling. She will be deeply missed."

Well,since she certainly proved how safe her country is,I can only say "Well done!"
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
She convinced me. I'm cancelling my trip to Somalia. Brings to mind another couple, biking along, singing "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing". Except that ISIS wasn't in the mood to sing.

If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Whatever the moral may be, it is certainly very bad luck to be killed by terrorists, compared to all the other ways one can get killed. That it happened to a journalist with her goals was all the more unlikely, unless she was an actual target.
I see your point. I was going for schadenfreude, mostly in the context of the Ilhan (not even her real name apparently) incest/refugee fraud story that is unfolding. And she looks like a very social person. Unfortunately, one who believed her own bull about Can't We All Get Along. Not to dance on her grave but, no, we can't all get along. Especially if some of us are devoted to a terrorist death cult that implements despotic governments in every territory they conquer. And they can only spread their cult through armed conquest and subterfuge, never by persuasion via proselytizing.
