Unidentified masked gunmen shot and killed eight elders in Raarka Village (8km SE of Buur Hakaba) in the evening of 23/03.

The elders hail from Biimaal clan and were attacked as they travel back to Marka. Unconfirmed reports indicate that AS was behind the murder but a pro-al Shabaab website published a report in which al Shabaab officials distanced themselves from the incident. The incident coincides with the current political tension between supporters of six-region state led by Madobe Nunow and three-region state led by the former SNG Speaker, Sharif Hassan. |
