“Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.”

A Giant Harari Historian has fallen,

Gessi Abudusemad Idriss.

A mentor and an icon

An Advisor and Courageous Harari politician,

Fearless activist and finest sociologist,

Full of integrity, respect and humble at his core.

A legend who practiced harmony and humanity

In all aspects of life with unity, 

Be it, with family, society and the surrounding community
