Elman football club was
initially founded by a leading peace activist and prominent
human rights campaigner, late Mohamoud Ali Ahmed (Elman).
Late Elman initiated several humanitarian and peace programs
in Mogadishu in early 1990s as Somalia descended in to
anarchy. Elman has devoted his effort, time and resources
to provide assistance to youngsters to earn an alternative
way of living than the barrel of the gun.Elman’s
message was simple; “if you go with the warlords, you
will probably be killed. If you come with me, I will help
you; you will be able to get married, have children, and
get good job. Today you don’t know how to write your name.
Tomorrow, perhaps, you could be president.”
Elman paid the ultimate price for his generosity and commitment
to peaceful Somalia, and sacrifices his life, for a cause
he dearly believed in. Elman was murdered in Mogadishu
on March 9th, 1996 at 7:30 PM.
In recognition of his contribution to the society, and
in order to support Elman center’s peace programme, a
sport club formerly found by late Elman was re-established
and named after him. Elman initially established the club
for the fact that there is an enormous potential of sports
in the peace process, demobilization of young people,
community reintegration and promoting healthy society.
