Malaysian TV journalist killed in Somali capital
By ABDI GULED, Associated Press – 4 hours ago
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A Malaysian journalist was shot dead in the Somali capital Friday, his employer said.

Noramfaizul Mohd Nor, 41, was killed in Mogadishu as he accompanied the aid agency Putera 1Malaysia Club on a humanitarian mission, said a statement on the Malaysian national news agency Bernama's website.

Nor was shot as he was traveling in a car near a busy junction known as Kilometer Four and African Union troops were involved, a Somali official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.

African Union officials were not immediately reachable for comment.

The circumstances of the shooting were unclear.

A car bomb was found at Kilometer Four on Saturday but defused before it could explode, a Mogadishu-based security official said.

Aid agencies and journalists have been flooding into the capital to respond to war-ravaged Somalia's widespread famine.

The anarchic Horn of Africa nation has not had a functioning government for more than 20 years. Islamist rebels pulled out from their bases in the capital last month but said it was a 'tactical retreat' and they would still carry out operations in the capital.

Aun, bantus and their xulufo are getting paranoid.

according to malaysian sources is not amisom its the rebels alhabaar that fired at their guards while their were heading to the comercial side of the town


RIP Noramfaizul

Dear Abdisamad,
Let us not outsource the elusive peace in somalia to others. True the root causes could have been foreign intervention but that is history. It is us somalis who are inherently a hostile folk and embrace primitive tribalism as a mode of governance in a modern world.

You could also argue that (to a certain extent rightfully) that Amison is financed by the international community and as such as long as there is war in somalia, the dollars keep on following. However, please note that if we somalis awake from the nonsense of tribalism, then AMISON's presence could become irrelevant.

The true victims are somalis

What did u expect from xawayan
