N.O.R.F Posted January 14, 2008 Somalia govt executes convicted soldier MOGADISHU, Somalia Jan 13 (Garowe Online) - Somalia's interim government has executed a soldier convicted of killing a civilian, making it the second execution in less than a year. Somali soldier Shukri Hussein Mohamed was killed by firing squad in the national capital Mogadishu on Sunday, with hundreds of witnesses and senior military commanders present. Somali troops Col. Mohamed Osman Dinih, commander of Somalia's navy, told reporters that the soldier was executed after being convicted of intentionally killing an innocent woman last year. He was charged with murder and sentenced by a military court, according to Col. Dinih. "This is a clear warning to other soldiers who commit crimes against civilians," he said. In 2007, two soldiers were convicted of killing fellow soldiers and civilian bystanders. They were both executed on the same day. Many Mogadishu residents have complained about the behavior of Somali troops, with many reports of robberies, torture and premeditated killings. On Sunday, a local market in central Mogadishu was forced to shut down after local businesses were robbed overnight by "men in government uniform," according to locals. Ali Sheikh Mohamed, a shop-owner in Mogadishu's Shibis district, told Garowe Online that property worth more than US$7,000 was stolen from his shop, including cigarette boxes and phone cards. He said he pays taxes to the government, but does not know why government security forces targeted the market. Other businesses lost valued property as well, Mr. Mohamed said. Barre Mohamed Mohamud, business association chair for the market in Shibis, spoke to reporters after the association held an emergency meeting today regarding this latest incident. He said the association asked the Mogadishu municipal government to take tough measures against the culprits. Baidoa killings Two people were shot to death overnight Saturday in the south-central town of Baidoa, 250km northwest of Mogadishu. Sheikh Abdullahi Balbalow, a judge with the Bay Regional Court, and a security guard for the Red Cross died from gunshot wounds. Unidentified gunmen opened fire on the judge and guard while both victims stood in front of Sheikh Abdullahi's house, witnesses said. The gunmen escaped before police reinforcements arrived on the scene. Baidoa residents said the killing took place minutes before a nighttime curfew took affect. The town has been under curfew for the past five months. Before his violent death, Sheikh Abdullahi was also regional spokesman for Ahlu-Sunnah-Wal-Jame'a, an Islamic group that runs charities, educational and health services in many parts of Somalia. The Somali parliament is temporarily based in Baidoa, while government troops and allied Ethiopian forces try to secure Mogadishu from Islamist-led insurgents. Senior Somali government officials, including Prime Minister Nur "Adde" Hassan Hussein, are currently in Baidoa. Source: Garowe Online Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
