25 April 2017: a military court of Somalia has executed a soldier serving with Southwest army in Baidoa city after being convicted of killing a civilian in Burhakabo district in 2016. The soldier who was identified as Ali Gurow Mohamed was shot dead a firing squad in Baidoa town, with the presence of Somali military court chairman Liban Ali Yarow and other officials. The executed soldier was found guilty of killing Qasim Abdi Kerow, and injuring his two sons in Burhakabo town in 10th October, 2016, according the deputy military court prosecutor.
Somali military court previously executed soldiers charged with murder and mainly convicted Al-Shabaab members. On Monday, the court executed four people who were convicted of being Al-Shabaab members and carrying out twin bomb attacks in Baidoa which claimed lives of over eighty people. The EU has variously called for a ban on death penalty in Somalia including this month’s execution of four Al-Shabaab militants found guilty of killing a senior government official in Puntland last December.
