A great role model in the eyes of literature for everone died last night, may Allah have mercy on him & forgive him for his sins,

De Gabay group purchased tickets to go see him last year in Swansea for a show that was called Somali Poet On Tour, but unfortunately he couldn't make due to this illness that eventually caused his death in Oslo, 

Enthusiastic, intelligent and full of inspiration although i never meet him in person we surely meet on the same page.

Maxamed Xaashi Dhamac “Gaarriye” (1951-2012)

The organizers of the festival, their partners and the visiting artists share the loss of Maxamed Xaashi Dhamac “Gaarriye” with his family and friends.
