MOGADISHU, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Ali Jamac Dhoodi thought his son was working as a security guard in Qatar, helping prepare for next year's soccer World Cup. Then one day last April, officials from Somalia's National Intelligence Agency arrived with $10,000 in cash.
They told him his son had died - not in Qatar, but in Eritrea, one of the world's most secretive countries.
"They showed me a picture from their WhatsApp and asked me, 'do you know this picture and his full name?' I said, 'yes he is my son,'" Dhoodi, 48, told Reuters. "They said to me 'your son died'. I cried."
