A staff member of an INGO was shot and killed by 2-3 unknown gunmen in front of the Mamur Mosque in Garsoor village. The attackers managed to escape. The victim was a prominent traditional elder and his killing may be be related to his personal involvement in improving the general security environment in Galkacyo North in cooperation with the local authorities. He in particular produced an audio clip frequently broadcasted on a local radio to encourage the youth to take part in initiatives aiming at improving the security in Galkacyo. Other sources indicate that the killing may be linked to clan revenge as the victim was from the Leylkase sub-clan of Darood, a group that is currently in conflict with the Majerteen/Omar Mohamud sub-clan in Galkacyo. All observers consider that the incident is not related to his work with an international humanitarian organization. |
