Somalia Mourns as Former NISA Director Dies in Oman

On Thursday, former Director of Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), Major General Ahmed Suleyman Dafle, passed away in Oman.

In response, the current NISA Director, Abdullahi Mohamed Sanbalolshe, extended his heartfelt condolences to General Dafle’s family, friends, and the Somali people.

General Dafle was a prominent figure in Somalia’s security sector, and his death is a significant loss to the nation.

While specific details about his passing are limited, the Somali leadership and public have expressed deep sorrow over his death.

His contributions to national security and intelligence are remembered with respect and gratitude.

This loss follows other recent notable deaths in the Somali region, such as the passing of former Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud “Siilaanyo” in November 2024, which led to a two-day national mourning period in Somaliland.

As the Somali nation mourns, tributes continue to pour in, honoring General Dafle’s service and dedication to the country’s security and stability.
