| (SomaliNet) Four people including former police colonel have been shot dead in the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Monday in separate attacks. The killings carried out by unknown gunmen. Colonel Mohamed Aden Borey, former police officer and his friend, Mohamed Haji Ali were gunned down in Hodan neighborhood, south of capital by unidentified armed men. In Howlwadag junction near the main Bakara market, a civilian man, 35, was killed by three gunmen who robbed his car, witnesses told Somalinet. Elsewhere in Mogadishu, mobile muggers have killed another man in Black Sea junction, south of the capital. The killings came as AU officers were in Mogadishu today, assessing the vicinities where 1,500 Ugandan peacekeepers would be positioned when they arrived. Suudan Ali Ahmed, the president of Elman Peace and Human rights organization, has condemned todayÂ’s killings as un-Islamic and crime against humanity. These acts of killings are part of the escalating insecurity situation in Mogadishu, which had already plunged into chaos, and anarchy. The government has little to address the problem. |
