Somalia's face of war boy dies after operation

Post by Jazzy »

NAIROBI, Kenya – A Somali boy who was horribly disfigured months ago by a stray bullet in Somalia's violent capital has died just days after undergoing reconstructive surgery in neighboring Kenya, his doctors said Thursday.

The plight of 8-year-old Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud was reported by The Associated Press in November in a story, photos and video, two months after he was shot in Mogadishu. Ahmed personified the civilian toll in the brutal conflict in Somalia and drew offers of aid from around the world. The bullet tore through his cheekbones, nose and mouth and destroyed his right eye.
