convicts as part of the ongoing fight against the gunnies who control large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia, making it a total of 10 people to be killed within two weeks in the Horn of Africa nation.

Last week, the court executed three gunnies who were convicted of various crimes, including coordination of attacks across the country. The execution was carried out by the famous firing squad, a contingent within the Somali National Army [SNA] which is given such responsibilities.

According to the military court, the Thursday gunnies were executed having been convicted of killing security personnel. Execution has been part of the strategy to eliminate the gunnies from the country, but they still dominate most parts of the country including northeastern Kenya.

Those killed on Thursday morning are Abdulle Ahmed Mudey, 24, and Omar Adan Mohammed, 29. They were convicted for assassinating two security officers in 2019 and the military court has turned down their appeals, warranting their immediate execution by firing squad.

This brings the number of gunnies executed in recent days to 10. The country has heightened the crackdown against the al-Shabaab hard boys, mainly targeting their bases in central and southern Somalia. In recent days, there have been crackdowns in Galgaduud, Hiiraan, and Bay regions.
