Aniga oo maqaalkan qoraya ayaa Xamar la iga soo wacay. Saaxiib aan jeclahay ayaa ila soo hadlay. Wuu isalaamay, waxaan dareen-siiyey sidaan ugu farax-sanahay inuu ila soo hadlo. Kolkaasuu ii sheegay war aanan ku farxin. Saakay waxaan kuu soo wacay inaan kuu sheego in xalay oo Isniin ah gurgiisa lagu dilay C/Qaadir Yaxye ayuu yiri, waxaana soo weeraray ciidan hubaysan oo waardiyihiisiina qab-qabtay, kadibna isagii dilay.

C/Qaadir Yaxye Allaha u naxariisto, wuxuu kamid ahaa hawlwadeennadii xarunta cilmi baaritsa ee C.R.D. Nin ku mashquulsan sidii Soomaalida xaalkan looga badali lahaa ayuu ahaa. marar badan ayaan iska waraysanay xaaladda ka taagan dalka. Aqoonyahay caqli badan oo bashaash ah ayuu ahaa. Waan ka xumahay inaanan mar danbe la sheekeysan-doonin. C/Qaadir Yaxye kol danbe kama qayb-gali-doono miyaa simnaar looga hadlayo mustaqbalka Soomaaliya.

Waxay dadka xaalkiisa ku dhawaa sheegayaan inuu u god-galay fikirkii uu ka’aaminsanaa xaalka Soomaalida, dilkiisu waa mid Siyaasadeed, waa mid loo dilay mabda’ uu aaminsanaa, waa arin ay kawada shaqeeyeen dad gudaha dalka jooga iyo gacmo shisheeye oo lug kudhex leh xaalka Soomaaliya.

We express our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and condemn in the strongest terms such outrageous act against humanity.

Abdulkadir Yahye will be missed by all of us who appreciate his professionalism and the fact that he devoted his life to Somalia as he was co-chairman of Centre for Research and Dialogue and he went the extra mile to reach Somalis who desperately need peace, stability, prosperity and above all a freedom from militia groups. This was an attack of all of us and who ever behind it should be held accountable and punished. We are mourning for Abdulkadir Yahye and our deepest condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of Abdulkadir Yahye.

We urge that all Somalis to stand up and condemn this barbaric act that happened to Abdulkadir. We also ask Somalis to find whoever behind this evil act and to bring a justice in order to stop that such activities take place in Somali soil, so that a feeling of justice is achieved.
