Somalia: Gun battle within Somali troops kills one as a murderer put to death

 

Aweys Osman Yusuf

 

Mogadishu 23, May.07 ( Sh.M.Network) A government soldier was killed after Somali military troops and the police forces stationed at Kilometer 4 intersection, at the center of the capital, clashed Wednesday.

 

It is not yet clear what sparked the gun battle. Witnesses told Shabelle that the exchange gun fire lasted in 20 minutes, halting the cars and buses in that road.

 

Contacts made by Shabelle with the police commander in the area went impracticable.

 

This was not the first time that Somalia government troops clashed within them in the capital. Earlier this week, government soldiers fought in Mogadishu’s largest open-air market, Bakara, where one soldier died in the gun battle.

 

Meanwhile the local administrators in Baled Hawa, the main town of Gedo province, southern Somalia, have pubically executed a murderer today.

 

Abdi Hassan Gurhan, 40 year old man, was executed in a public scene Wednesday morning after the he pled guilty of killing two people in the province near the Kenya border.

 

Several public executions have been carried out in Somalia when the routed Union of Islamic Courts was in control of most parts of the country for nearly six months.

Accidents like this takes place every where even in the secessionist enclave. The communications, the uniforms and the discipline is getting better.
