Appeals court upholds death sentence of ISIS terrorists in Somalia's Puntland
|
[Garowe] Four ISIS members failed to have their death sentence
 ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
overturned in the Appeals Court in the Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
state of Somalia, just as the country fights violent mostly peaceful extremism which has affected the Horn of Africa nation for the last couple of years.
The four Jama Adan Abdirahman Tusbahlay, the head of the terror cell, Ayub Omar Shire, Abdullahi Salaad Bos alias Mahoonge and Mohamud Abshir Musa had tried to convince the Eastern Court of Appeal to quash the death sentence which had been issued by the military court.
Documents availed to the media established that the four were responsible for the planned explosions and murders in Bosaso and sentenced them to death by firing squad. They are now set to face the firing squad in line with the laws of the country.
Evidence provided in the court indicated that the four bully boyz had been coordinating attacks within Puntland, one of the most stable states in Somalia.
Puntland has been working closely with federal authorities to defeat the bully boyz who control huge swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
The convicts are also on record for admitting the charges labeled against them in various video interviews with some admitting that they worked with the al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
team in the country.
The two groups have destabilized Somalia for the last 10 years, making state-building almost an impossible task.
Abdirahman Shirwac Isse's case was adjourned because he was absent from the court but he was among those who were sentenced to death. Usually, the country does not have a strong legal system but the military courts play an integral role.
Puntland has been steadfast in the fight against terrorism given its commitment and cooperation with federal authorities and other stakeholders. The state has been witnessing attacks in recent months, with al-Shabaab taking responsibility for most of the cases.
