(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - Abdullahi Dool, 59, who served as director of the Somali foreign minister's office, was fired last month for publicly advocating the establishment of formal relations with Israel and was forced to flee the country. "I am a staunch supporter of my country establishing diplomatic ties with Israel. I know many people who are in favor of this move. Like myself they wonder why it has taken this long," he said in an interview this week. "One of the reasons we need to establish ties with Israel sooner rather than later is to bring an end to the war of the extremists that is being waged against our people on a daily basis....We will need all the help we can get to achieve this goal."
