Prominent Somali trader 'assassinated'


Tuesday, June 03, 2008

Mogadishu (AFP) - A prominent Somali trader who had been instrumental in initiating a security scheme aimed at curbing violence in Mogadishu's main commercial district was gunned down on Tuesday, witnesses said.

Mogadishu traders committee spokesperson Abas Mohamed Duale was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in the capital's southern Debke neighbourhood.

"I saw three men intercepting the spokesperson's car. They sprayed gunfire on the vehicle, leaving him dead and his driver badly wounded," eyewitness Husein Mohamed said.

"We are very upset because we lost a man who was very important for the business community in Mogadishu," said Ali Mohamed Siad, chairperson of the capital's Bakara market.

Bakara market is Mogadishu's main commercial hub and had been ravaged by daily clashes between Islamist insurgents and Ethiopian-backed Somali government forces since 2007.

An initiative was launched earlier this year whereby Bakara traders were allowed to take charge of their own security, with a pledge from the government to stop raids so long as insurgents were also kept at bay.

The murdered Abas was a key figure in the implementation of the measure, which received support from Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein but met with some resistance from other key officials, including President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed.

The scheme had so far been relatively successful in restoring some stability to the Bakara area, where much of the Horn of Africa nation's trading is done.

Word on the street is M.dheere and his gang of four is behind this assasination of their own ''cousin''.

al shabaab is only group who admited before, they were ones behind some assassinations in mogadishu. assassinations such as cold blooded killings of innocent hard working people. like general jilicoow(AUN) and also al shabaab admited they killed korneel Harashshabeel(AUN) in their webside qaadisiya. so therefore ITS OBVIOUS TO ME THATal shabaab is behind this, becouse trader bakara leader late mr ABAS, they accused him that, hes was behind that bakara trader are buying CANSHUUR to TFG. and al shabaab law is who ever work whit so called TFG is murtad and, he should be killed.

U know thats right Al Shabaab always takes responsibility for those that they kill. But in this instance they have said it was not them who did the killing. It was probably adeer Mohamed Dheere or those who have been raiding the Bakaara in the past.
