Mombasa, Kenya: Listening to Haniya Said Saggar defend her late husband Sheikh Aboud Rogo reminds older readers of Yoko Ono's steadfast defense of the late John Lennon until his death and after.

Lennon who co-founded The Beatles lived a complicated life, filled with drugs and women and ended up dying by the bullet. Haniya, an articulate woman with a heart of steel and intellectual ability defended Rogo's honour in life and death and came close to death for that.
