An attack in Somalia's port city of Kismayo over the weekend killed 26 people, including the prominent Canadian-Somali journalist Hodan Nalayeh, who returned to her native country with a mission to tell its overlooked stories.

An attack in Somalia's port city of Kismayo over the weekend killed 26 people, including the prominent Canadian-Somali journalist Hodan Nalayeh, who returned to her native country with a mission to tell its overlooked stories.Nalayeh, who founded Integration TV, a web-based station aimed at Somalia's global diaspora, was remembered as a generous person who was driven to tell stories that showed a more positive and nuanced side of her native Somalia.

I’ve been in great shock since I heard the news of Hodan Naleyeh’s killing in an explosion in Somalia. The attack went on for 14 hours, and it began on Friday night local time when a suicide car bomb destroyed the entrance gate at the Asasey Hotel and at least four gunmen were able to enter, according to the AP.
