Nine civilians killed in Galkayo mass shooting
|
[RADIOSHABELLE] Gunmen have rubbed out nine people in Galkayo on Friday night in what is being described as "Dire Revenge" attack.
Another person who is believed to be a security official was killed in a separate incident in the southern city.
Somali Information minister, Mohammed Hayir Mareye has condemned the act.
Security agencies were conducting an investigation and expected to give details of what caused the killings.
Citizens and politicians alike have taken to the social media in their strong condemnation of the heinous attack.
Former Somali President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has called upon security agencies to bring to book those responsible for the attack.
"It is very sad to hear the death of ten people in Galkacyo in one night, I strongly condemn the heinous act and send my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the victims, " he said.
"I call upon the Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
authorities and Galkayo residents to cooperate in the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators." He added.
