On the morning of September 20, 2020, my cousin, Mase Kamara was sleeping in her home when she was awaken to the thrust of a knife. As she began to scream in panic, she realized that she was not being attacked by a stranger or an unknown perpetrator but rather by her very own husband, the father of her children. This evil man stabbed Mase to death in cold blood, without any fault of her own. Witnesses say that Mase had been the victim of domestic violence for a number of years, which resulted in this fatal incident.

Mase, 28, leaves behind four beautiful children (two daughters and two sons) Hadja, Lasso, Belama, and Fanta. These innocent children are victims of collateral damage. In one horrendous occurrence, they lost both a mother and a father and are now in government custody while the investigation ensues. Thanks to the BENGOMA Organization and the AMC (African Muslim Congress) Mase Kamara has been washed and laid to rest in the Islamic Cemetary of The Netherlands.
