Ilwad Elman, left, and Fartuun Adan spoke at the Global Centre for Pluralism earlier this week. Adan took her three young daughters to Canada leaving her husband, peace activist Elman Ali Ahmed, behind. Ahmed was killed in 1996 after he received threats from warlords to stop doing the work of bringing peace to the country.
