Dr. Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden, Somali female medical doctor have been missing since her disappearance in Gabiley district of Somaliland in the Sunday late evening on 17 April 2011. Somaliland Impartial Human Rights Organizations Network (SOHIRA-NET) fears she may be subjected to torture and other ill-treatment including.
17 April 2011, Dr Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden told her family that she will go to Gabiley district to collect some documents and return back to her home immediately. Unexpectedly her family members told to the human rights researchers from SOHIRA-Net that she had sent A short massage from her mobile cell phone and stated “an armed man wearing civilian clothes had kidnapped me”.

Somaliland Impartial Human Rights Organizations Network (SOHIRA-NET) ’s concerns are heightened by persistent reports of torture and other ill-treatment as well as prolonged detention without charge or trial in the Somaliland. Somaliland Impartial Human Rights Organizations Network (SOHIRA-NET) fears that the missed of the female medical doctor Ms. Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden in conditions amounting to an enforced disappearance puts her at a great risk of torture or other
ill-treatment.

Dr Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden is the owner a private medical center in Xero Awr village in Hargeisa since 2006 when she fled the civil wars in Mogadishu, Somalia. She also was University Lecturer at Faculty of Health of Camuud University in Borama.

SOHIRA-Net is deeply concerned about the safety of Dr. Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden as her whereabouts remain unknown. SOHIRA-Net fears that she may be subjected to torture, ill-treatment and/or extrajudicial killing. Somaliland intelligence and security services have a well-established track record of using forced disappearances and unlawful deportation of lawful refugees to Ethiopian security. SOHIRA-Net urges the competent authorities to guarantee her physical and psychological integrity at all times, in accordance with international human rights law, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

According news article published Waaheen newspaper on 21 April 2011 disclosed that Somaliland intelligence had handed to the Ethiopian Intelligence an Ethiopian refugee man called Cabdisalan Mukhtar Haji who lived several years in Somaliland and has a refugee status at the
UNHCR Office in Hargeisa (http://waaheen.com/?p=13142).

Why does SOHIRA thinks she's at risk? How did they draw to that conclusion?

Is this that girl that was in the newspapers sometime back for graduating from medical school somewhere in Canada? I remember her name was Fahmo something. They claimed that she was the first Somali to graduate from Medical school in Canada even though that was not the case.

That why I don't trust Somalis media. 75% of what they reports are either made up or mixed with red French dressing.

Rightwing the doctors name is not "Fahima Osman" it's "Dr. Fahmo Abdi Sh. Aden". Her disappearance is a mystery indeed, I hope she's okay
