Life

Moumina Houssein Darar was the eldest of a family of eight children.[2] After obtaining a degree in English in 2012, she joined the ranks of the Djibouti Police in 2013.[2] She soon specialized in anti-terrorism investigations as a senior investigator. She was involved in high-profile investigations that resulted in the conviction or expulsion of many Al-Shabaab terrorists.[1] This allowed the Djiboutian National Police (DNP) to thwart several planned terrorist attacks following the attack of La Chaumière, in 2014 in Djibouti.

She has created a neighborhood charity to help children in need, as well as to provide other services and assistance to help the local community.[1]

She received on 7 March 2019 the Woman of Courage award by Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State.[1]
