Mogadishu (HOL) - A Quran teacher, Liban Hassan Osman, and his brother, Dr. Ahmed Hassan Osman, a doctor, were killed in Ilix village, located under Dhusamareb, the administrative capital of Galmudug State, on Saturday night.
Residents reported that the killing of the civilians was linked to the rising incidents of revenge, which have been on the increase in central Somalia in recent months.
Dr. Ahmed Hassan Osman, who had recently worked in Buhoodle town, returned to the village to provide medical services for the local people. Although security forces arrived at the murder scene and conducted a security operation, no arrests were made.
However, last month, a gunman killed two business people, identified as Siad Tahliil Mohamed and Sheikh Hassan Diirshe, in Dhusamareb in an apparent revenge killing.
