23/09/07 (B414) AFAR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION IN UK – Communiqué de condoléances à l’occasion de la disparition d’Abdallah Lee

It was with deep shock and sadness that we heard of the devastating loss of the Great Artist of Afars and the Republic of Djibouti Mr. ABDALLAH ABDOULKADER ABASS known as ABDALLAH LEE on 18/09/2007, in Poitiers- France. Mr. Abdallah Lee has been regarded as an Exceptional & Extraordinary Afar Artist in the Republic of Djibouti. He was a man of honour and the man of principle with dignity.

Mr. Abdallah Lee was entirely respected and admired by the whole Afars and non-Afar communities, because of his solidarity, commitment, and support towards others. His death has not only left emptiness and imbalance among his family, friends and Afar society but also among the whole music and cultural industries in Djibouti.

In the name of the Afar Community Association in UK & Republic of Ireland, we would like to convey our deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to the wife, children and immediate relatives of Mr. Abdallah Lee. We Afar community living in the UK & Republic of Ireland share with all our hearts the deep sorrow of his wife, members of his family, relatives, and the people of Republic of Djibouti.
