Somalia: "Government" Minister Murdered by Jihadis, Other Ministers Resign
Following the example of Muhammad, the inventor of Islam, who ordered the assassination of people oppossed to his rule, Somali Jihadis kill a fellow Muslim who was in their way. It is over but for the murders for Somalia's internationally-recognized "government": Somali Government Minister Gunned Down in Baidoa
A minister in Somalia's interim government was shot and killed Friday, as concerns rise that the violence plagued Horn of Africa nation is inching closer to war.Witnesses say Abdallah Isaaq Deerow was killed by unidentified gunmen outside a mosque in Baidoa shortly after prayers. Deerow was the minister for constitutional and federal affairs.
The shooting is another blow to the interim government, which is backed by the United Nations but is unable to function outside its base in Baidoa. Islamic militias have seized control of the capital, Mogadishu, and much of southern Somalia.
Eighteen cabinet ministers abruptly resigned Thursday, saying the government is powerless to bring peace to Somalia.
