Blogs about Somalia: Who Shot Dead Osman Ali Ahmed the Top UN official killed in Somalia?

Osman Ali Ahmed was shot as he left a mosque in the capital, Mogadishu, and died in hospital of his injuries. Gunmen have killed the head of the UN Development Programme in Somalia, UN officials say. As the world body looks into Mogadishu seeking answers to the bloody murder of the Mr. Ahmed, Somali observers point the blame finger towards the residents of Somali Villa, a place that houses the Somali President and his militia that independently work to protect and carry out his orders, without the government body's knowledge or involvement.

As reported by Somali news sources including Dalkanews.com, allegedly there are rumors that the killers had been seen driving in their vehicle towards Somali villa. One man who followed the murderers' vehicle affirms that two other vehicles, that appeared to be the President's Militia, met with the killers at a prearranged rendezvous point where they continued to escort them into Somali Villa.

Despite the allegations, no one claimed responsibility for the killing. However, it is widely believed in Mogadishu that Abdullahi Yusuf is behind the killing of Osman Ali Ahmed.

Similarly, just last month, the head of UHCR was kidnapped in Mogadishu outskirts where he was giving out food to the displaced. Although it is not proven, many residents of the capital city discuss among themselves that he was taken to an under-ground jail in Somali Villa by Abdullahi Yusuf's orders.

Also late last month, the President's militia army outclassed itself by robbing the same organization they were suppose to secure its operation. Basically, they stopped the WFP trucks on their route to the outskirts of Mogadishu heading to refugee centres.

For about and hour, the Abdullahi Yusuf loyalists kept the unarmed UN trucks under siege as they forced UN Officials to pay up. Eventually, the defenseless UN workers paid up not only to continue to their route, but because they were also threatened that they would be shot if they don't pay large amounts of fines.
