Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ahmed Gure. Like countless members of the Somali diaspora, I have followed @hiiraan for decades. Ahmed elevated Somali voices & built a lasting legacy that continues to empower Somali diaspora.

Happy to have contributed a commentary to @FMReview’s latest issue on digital disruption and displacement. The piece draws from my fieldwork in Kenya and discusses the unequal implementation of biometric-enabled cash assistance and the risks to refugees and displaced people.
