According to family sources of the deceased, Senator Abdirizak Jurile in London, a family friend of the Late Dr Mohamed Dahir Afrah, and former Puntland Minister of Education, Ali Haji Warsame in Garowe, Afrah had suffered a massive stroke recently.

The Late Afrah was known for his famous Somali stories: “Galti-Macruuf, Guur-Ku- Sheeg and Maana-faay” authored in the 1970s. He will be missed not only by family and friends, but also by many in the literary world.

Here is a note as well from Professor Abdisalam Isse Salwe in London:

“Walaalayaal

Innaa lillahi waa lillahi wa inaa ulayhi raajucuun.

Walaalkeen Maxamed Daahir Afrax wuu geeriyooday. Waxay ahayd 18:3…

Hadda isbataalka St Thomas ayaan joogaa, qolkii uu ku jiro Afrax ayaan la joogaa.

Nasiib darradayda markaan soo salaamay ayuu geeridiisa ila kulansiiyay.

Walaalkeen u soo duceeya inuu qabrigiisa qaboojoyo. Jannadii Fardowsa inuu ka waraabiyo.

Kulligeen ehelka suugaanta iyo dhaqanka soomaaliyeed, iyo ummaada Soomaaliyeed Allaha samir innaga siiyo.

Aamiin”.
