Somalia: Jihadis murder immigration official in Puntland, Puntland President calls for “dialogue” with jihadis

Apr 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There are immigration officials in Somalia? Are there people who actually want to go live there despite the jihad-wrought devastation, or is the job of these officials solely to help people get out?

In any case, note that Osman Hussein Haji Farey was murdered outside a mosque by a jihad group affiliated with al-Qaeda. The vast majority of peaceful Muslims did not intervene to explain to the jihadis how they were misunderstanding the Religion of Peace.

And now Puntland officials should “embrace dialogue”? Why is the entire world so cowed and supine in the face of the jihad threat?

“Somalia: Al-Shabaab assassinates an official outside mosque in Puntland,” Garowe Online, April 12, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

GALKAYO, Puntland – Al-Shabaab militants eliminated a senior immigration official in Galkayo on Friday evening, authorities said, in the latest raid within the fairly safe Puntland state in Somalia.

Osman Hussein Haji Farey, met his death outside a mosque in the northeastern semi-autonomous state, in an attack that could further compel authorities to go back to the drawing board on matters security.

An unknown number of gunmen ambushed the official before fleeing from the scene. The attackers were armed with pistols and shot at him, killing him instantly, witnesses said, although it was not immediately clear why he was targeted.

The officer was working at the Galkayo airstrip, which is among top income-generating sites within Puntland. Police arrived at the scene long after the militants had fled the scene, reports indicate….

In a statement issued through affiliate media, Al-Shabaab confirmed the attack saying “our fighters killed a senior immigration official in Galkayo town in a successful operation”.

Further, the militants claimed that another sophisticated operation within Mudug left “several dead”. The group could not, however, give proof to the alleged attack in Central Somalia.

Also, the Al-Qaida linked group said it was responsible for last week’s attack at Galdadud and Bosaaso, where they targeted a convoy of Puntland Security Forces, who are credited for flushing the militants out of the state….

Puntland is one of the safest places within Somalia, a country that is embroiled in endless inter-clan conflicts and terrorism threats, with Al-Shabaab being declared “danger” to East Africa by the US State Department.

Although the group occasionally attacks the region, it was flushed along with IS-Somalia, another terror group that had temporarily established a territory within Puntland. The two groups also started fighting against each other.

Said Deni, the Puntland President, recently asked the federal government of Somalia to “embrace” dialogue as the most appropriate approach towards promoting unity and in the fight against Al-Shabaab….

    Send Ilhan Omar and a CAIR rep or three over there. Surely they’ll be able to straighten this out.

    Wasn’t there once an old movie or tv series that had a lawman say something about letting his “gun talk for him”?
    Just what will these people say when they sit down to talk? “Okay, bad guys, we won’t hire anymore *security** officials and we’ll fire all of the ones we have at present. And we’ll make sure that only al shabaab “generates income.”

    (“targeted a convoy of Puntland Security Forces,”” “a senior immigration official” at the “income generating site”)

    al shabaab “hires” young moslim males, promising them big pay for ‘joining.” And if they won’t “join,” they are murdered. The terror group can’t afford to have security forces driving them out, and they can’t afford to have competition in “hiring” young moslims.

    As for “immigration,” wasn’t somalia the main country to which young moslims in the U.K. were being sent to “keep them safe”? Perhaps they are consider “immigrants” by somalia.

    There is only one language these thugs understand, violence.
    So, unfortunately the only way to deal with them is to stoop to their level and eliminate the threat.

    Somali-Americans travel back and forth all the time. And they are also allowed to travel with large sums of cash. Any area with large groups, just check local newspapers. MSP is full of them, lots of TSA workers, federal workers. Its OK they are just like us, but different.
