Somalilanders Targeted in Mogadishu

In recent weeks, the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia have witnessed a distressing increase in violence directed at innocent members of Somaliland’s Isaaq community. These violent executions have shocked the Republic of Somaliland. These sad occurrences illustrate not only the frightening escalation in violence against Somalilanders living in Somalia, but also the critical need for justice and responsibility. Accusations point to the involvement of Somalia’s National Security personnel in these heinous acts, exacerbating the complexity and urgency of an already grim situation.

Justice for Isaaq Community in Mogadishu

In the wake of recent distressing events, our hearts weigh heavy with sorrow as we commemorate the loss of Abdinasir Musa Dahable, a dedicated member of the ICAO staff at Mogadishu Airport in Somalia, and Ahmed Aadan, a former parliamentarian. Their untimely deaths, under troubling circumstances, have sent shockwaves through our community, leaving us grappling with profound grief and unanswered questions. To make matters worse, six of Abdinasir’s colleagues from the Isaaq community have been detained without cause by the Somalia government.
