Witnesses said two armed men fled the crime scene shortly after Mr. Abdulkadir Yahye Ali was murdered.
47 year old Abdulkadir Yahye Ali has been active in Somali politics for a long time. His organization, an independent not-for-profit corporation is aimed to promote the social, economic & political rebuilding of Somalia. Its parent organization, WSP International assists societies torn by war to overcome conflict and to build lasting peace. It does this by promoting processes of consultation, research and analysis with all sectors of society, including international assistance agencies and donors.
These kinds of high profile killings have been common in Mogadishu for the past several months and many such killings have not been solved yet.
Somalia has been without a government for the past fifteen years and Mogadishu is controlled by many opposing warlords.
