In a marquee in Mogadishu, the newly graduated doctors are being celebrated. There are dressed up people everywhere and up on the stage stand the young graduates, in full gala dresses, overlooking the crowd. Down below them, in the front row, a young man is taking pictures. He is there as a journalist, to cover the happy event. No one in the marquee knows that this young journalist is Abdi Rahman from Denmark. Nor that he, in just a few seconds, will blow himself up and take several young doctors with him in the blast.
