Wife who lost husband in Kulbiyow attack on Friday and had lost uncle in El-Adde las year makes heartfelt appeal to Uhuru. Will he listen?

A wife is total distress after losing husband in the Friday Kulbiyow attack has made an appeal to president Uhuru.

He wants the president to come to her rescue as she has nothing to live for. She has lost her sole bread winner in the family and her daughter, a student at Moi Girls Maralal stands a high risk of dropping out of school.

While speaking to E-Daily, Khadija Dahir spoke of the hollow gap this death has left in the family especially the daughter who has stopped going to school due to low spirits.

Her husband, Abdala Aziz is among tens of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers killed in an intense battle after Al Shabaab militants struck their Kulbiyow camp in Somalia on Friday morning.

And he’s not the first to die in the family under similar circumstances with his uncle having been killed in the bloody El-Adde attack that happened around this time last year.

She also asked the president to withdraw troops from Somalia as many families were losing out something which was seconded by Chairman of Muslim community in Maralal Town Ahmed Farah.

“Let Somalia fight and solve her own problem. On behalf of Muslim community, I ask our Commander in Chief, the President, to withdraw our children from Somalia so that they can man our borders,” He told E-Daily.
