UN official shot dead in Somalia
The head of the United Nations development programme in Somalia has been shot
dead in the capital, Mogadishu.
Unknown attackers opened fire on people leaving a mosque on Sunday night,
killing Osman Ahmed Ali and wounding his son and another man, according to
witnesses.
"The gunmen shot Ahmed as he was leaving evening prayers in the mosque in
Bulohube. He was taken to hospital where he died because of his wounds," a UN
official told the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity.
Masteho Abubakr Yusus, Ahmed's wife, confirmed that her husband had died at the
African Union hospital after being shot in the head.
The shooting occurred a day after an explosion killed a Somali official, his
wife and four other people in Mogadishu.
Aid workers in the largely lawless country have frequently been subjected to
attacks from armed groups.
On June 21, Hassan Mohamed Ali, head of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
organisation in Mogadishu, was abducted from his home on the outskirts of the
capital.
UN officials have repeatedly appealed to the Somali government and armed groups
opposed to the government to spare aid workers, but they have been forced to
scale down operations due to the increased insecurity.
The African Union Mission to Somalia (Amisom) has deployed 2,600 peacekeepers
in Somalia - well short of a promised 8,000 troops - and so far it has failed
to stem the violence and unrest.
At least 2.6 million Somalis are facing hunger due to acute food shortages
caused by a prolonged drought, insecurity and high inflation. The UN's famine
monitors have warned that the figure could hit 3.5 million by the end of the
year.
