He had been given six months to live: Ahmed Darwesh’s widow recounts former newscaster’s last days

The late Ahmed Darwesh

It has not been a smooth ride for Ms Hawa Hussein Jamadar, the widow of former newscaster Ahmed Darwesh. As she revealed during an interview with Nairobi News, Ms. Hawa has suffered a series of misfortunes since her husband’s death, the latest being a robbery incident on Saturday night. Ms. Hawa lost property estimated at Ksh.3 million on the fateful night.

The gangsters made way with all manner of items ranging from phones, carpets, home appliances, sandals and many others.  The widow also received several slaps of a machete blade as the robbers sought to milk information out of her. Her biggest relief though is that neither her nor her two daughters were raped, something she says can only be Allah’s answer to her prayers.
