Then came the collapse: civil war, exile and rupture.Told through the reflective voice of Sahal, now in his fifties and living in Europe, the novel travels from the dusty classrooms of Baidoa to the chaos of displacement and finally to the quiet, complex rhythms of life in the diaspora. Along the way, we meet unforgettable mentors, friendships forged in hardship, and the ghosts of those left behind. This is more than one man’s journey. It is the story of a lost era, of resilience in the face of loss, and of the quiet courage it takes to remember. My Name is Sahal is a tribute to those who survived, those who disappeared, and those still trying to piece together who they were meant to be.The evening will feature a reading by Dr. Nuur Hassan followed by a discussion and audience Q&A. Books will be available for purchase and signing.Dr. Nuur Hassan is a UK-based author whose work explores themes of exile, identity, faith, and belonging. My Name is Sahal, his third book and first novel, marks his debut into literary fiction after two earlier works of non-fiction.Known for his reflective and poetic style, Dr. Hassan’s writing draws on the silences, displacements, and spiritual depth of the Somali diaspora experience. Through essays, books, and storytelling, he weaves narratives that bridge continents and generations, capturing both the struggles and the resilience of migrant lives.With My Name is Sahal, he invites readers into a world shaped by memory and faith, where the search for home becomes a journey of the heart as much as of geography.Event Host: Ubah Ali - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/book-launch-and-discussion-my-name-is-sahal-by-dr-nuur-hassan/100001962497561034 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fbook-launch-discussion-my-name-is-sahal-by-dr-nuur-hassan-tickets-1962497561034 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.13, max: 6.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Oxford House in Bethnal Green - **lat**: 51.526287 - **long**: -0.06143299999996543 - **full address**: Oxford House in Bethnal Green, Derbyshire Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Kayd Somali Arts and Culture (https://allevents.in/org/kayd-somali-arts-and-culture/17729675) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f8b04d76ceee5c1fe6c3c88be6a8806dd53c357eb1aafcd51ce7b64af584396e-rimg-w940-h419-dcb84e01-gmir.jpg?v=1762628263 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/39a639c15c8d95e884663b137239bc7f1918c06494ee0f573bbdc3da42f6127c-rimg-w400-h400-dc142831-gmir.jpg?v=1762628262 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Oxford House in Bethnal Green, Derbyshire Street, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 6.13 up to 6.13 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Kayd Somali Arts and Culture - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, storytelling - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Book Launch & Discussion: My Name is Sahal by Dr. Nuur Hassan ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Book Launch & Discussion: My Name is Sahal by Dr. Nuur Hassan", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f8b04d76ceee5c1fe6c3c88be6a8806dd53c357eb1aafcd51ce7b64af584396e-rimg-w940-h419-dcb84e01-gmir.jpg?v=1762628263", "startDate": "2025-12-05", "endDate": "2025-12-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/book-launch-and-discussion-my-name-is-sahal-by-dr-nuur-hassan/100001962497561034", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Oxford House in Bethnal Green", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Derbyshire Street", "postalCode": "E2 6HG", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.526287", "longitude": "-0.06143299999996543" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for a lively book launch and discussion with Dr. Nuur Hassan as he shares the inspiring story of \"My Name is Sahal.\"", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-05", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "6.13", "highPrice": "6.13", "price": "6.13", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/book-launch-and-discussion-my-name-is-sahal-by-dr-nuur-hassan/100001962497561034" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/book-launch-and-discussion-my-name-is-sahal-by-dr-nuur-hassan/100001962497561034", "price": "6.13", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Kayd Somali Arts and Culture", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/kayd-somali-arts-and-culture/17729675", "description": "  \r\nKayd Somali Arts & Culture is an organisation that coordinates regular artistic and cultural events in the UK including the popular Somali Week Festival.
