Condolence
Inaa lillaah wa innaa ileyhi raaji oun Kullu nafsin tha inkatul mawti

(13 septembre 2004). It was with deep shock and sadness that we heard of the untimely passing away of the GREAT FATHER of Afar and Former Primer Minister of the Republic of Djibouti Mr. AHMED DINI on 12/09/2004, in Djibouti. Mr. Ahmed Dini has been seen as the GREAT leader, the EXTRAORDINARY Orator, the SKILLFULL Politician and the Father of Djibouti independence in Djibouti society as a whole. He was a man of honour and the man of principle with dignity. He was greatly respected and admired by the entire Afars and non-Afar communities both nationally and internationally. He left behind heavy national responsibility both for Afar community and to the citizens of Djibouti, because his death has left emptiness and imbalance, not only among his family, friends or Afar society but also among the whole social justice and peace loving Djiboutian.

In the name of the Afar Community Association in UK & Republic of Ireland that representing Afars, we would like to convey our deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to the wife, children, his immediate relatives of Mr. AHMED DINI. We Afar community living in the UK & Republic of Ireland share with all our hearts the deep sorrow of his wife, members of his family, relatives, and the entire society of Republic of Djibouti.

Allah the Almighty put his soul in his internal peace. – AB
