Yesterday I said through my own non-expert analysis, Qoorqoor and Saleeban were likely just as much victimized by the heinous crime committed against 5 children under the cover of darkness who had taken leave to retire early in a village religious school while their families were celebrating nomadic wedding.
Some criticized Qoorqoor yesterday for silence which we now understand was because he had rolled his sleeves with resolve to get to the bottom of the identities of the assailants picking through his own clan with razor tooth picks.
Qoor is Saleebaan---Reer Muuse. The assailants turned out to be Saleebaan---Reer Muuse.
In less than 24 hours his administration released a warrant for arrest containing the identities of 5 suspects. Every single Galmudug locality especially Cadaado, the home of the assailants as well as Qoorqoor, has police on look out for their sighting.
Less than 2 hours ago, a tip came in of the sighting of the assailants near the village of Dayaana between Cadaado and Gelinsoor.
The closest police truck near the location was ordered to engage by Qoorqoor personally.
The 5 assailants had 2 teknikos with them and chose to fight. One of their teknikos was decommissioned and they eluded capture with possible injuries.
Less than 1 hour ago, a larger force reached the initial police truck securing the scene of engagement and pending the arrival of two other units, they will meticulously search the area going from 3 directions.
The 4th direction is a wall of Marehan for over a 100 kms so it is not expected they will or can flee there.
It is possible we are on the cusp of something truly a transformational watershed moment if Qoorqoor succeeds in apprehending his 5 close clan cousins accused of these murders.
Were that to happen, it is very probable it could happen within the next 12 hours.
Leading the manhunt personally is the Minister of Internal Security for Galmudug, himself a Marehan from the Wagardhac sub-clan of the 5 murdered children.
