I regret to inform you of the murder of cartoonist Abdul Art's brother
Mohamed Muhuyidin Ali, the official spokesman for the anti-Islamist mayor of Mogadishu, Mohamed Dhere, was killed in a bombing the government claims was the work of Islamist insurgents.
Prior to serving as the mayor's spokesman, Ali was the editor of an independent newspaper for some two decades. He leaves behind a wife and three children.
Ali's brother, Abdul Arts, as regular readers will know, is the Somali refugee who regularly submits cartoons to this blog, cartoons that lament the damage terrorists do to his beloved faith, Islam.
And now he must lament the damage they have done to his family.
May God give them strength - and mercy. I do find myself asking, where is God's mercy in all of this?
