Review of suspension to follow memorial services

Memorial services scheduled for Friday in Jowhar, Baidoa, Bossaso, Hargeisa and in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, were described by the UN and SACB as an opportunity to commemorate "an outstanding servant of the Somali people" but also to "reflect the commitment of the Somali people towards preventing such abhorrent acts in the future." Humanitarian organisations would meet afterwards, probably on Saturday, to review their approach to operations in the light of insecurity facing their staff, UN sources told IRIN.
