A journalist in Somalia who was wounded while covering last month's bomb attack on the Dayah hotel in the capital, Mogadishu, has been discharged from hospital in neighbouring Kenya.
According to Ceoafrica, the journalist’s name is Mohamed Abdiwahab.
Mohammed said “I was taking photographs of the wounded in the first explosion, when another one hit the area. I fell down and could not lift one my legs. Thank God I was rescued by friends who took me to the hospital in Mogadishu”.
He was later flown to a better-equipped facility in Kenya where he underwent three operations during his 20-day admission.
He has vowed to return to Somalia and said further that “I now feel better, though I cannot walk”.
“After full recovery I am planning to return to Mogadishu, I am not giving up my job just because I was wounded”.
More than 25 people died in the bombings carried out by militant Islamist group, Boko Haram, which eyewitnesses said the attackers used a vehicle laden with explosives to blast their way into the hotel on 25th of January, where members of parliament were staying.
