Salah Farah
Salah Abdow Farah was a Kenyan Muslim teacher who became a symbol of bravery, unity, and humanity through his selfless act of defiance against terrorism. In December 2015, Farah was traveling on a bus from Mandera to Nairobi when Al-Shabaab militants stopped the bus and attempted to separate the Muslim and Christian passengers. The militants planned to kill Christians, but Farah, along with other Muslim passengers, refused to be separated, telling the attackers that they should kill everyone or leave everyone alone.
