Allaha ha naxariisto, for 30 years, the Sheikh had been preaching the public.

Hundreds of people in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, have attended the funeral of a prominent preacher well known for his sermons against violence.

Sheikh Muhammad Ahmed Kashka, 55, was shot dead by two gunmen as he was returning home from a mosque on Monday.

 

In his last Friday sermon he condemned insurgents for targeting people who worked for the transitional government.

 

Ethiopian troops backing the government ousted the Union of Islamic Courts from

Mogadishu in December 2006.

 

Since then many government officials have been assassinated by Islamist insurgents - including at least 10 of Mogadishu's 17 district commissioners.

 

 

All government associates are targets from tax collectors to businessmen felt to be backing the administration.

 

Correspondents say officials drive at break-neck speed through the streets of the

city fearing attacks.

 

But a BBC correspondent in Mogadishu says it is not clear if the cleric, who was an imam in the Medina district of the city, was killed because of his sermon.

 

The UN estimates that violence in Mogadishu has forced 60% of the city's residents to flee and last month it warned that Somalia was the world's "forgotten crisis".

 

So far only 2,400 African Union peacekeepers have been sent to Somalia, of a planned 8,000-strong force.

^Does it matter if he was killed by the insurgents or the Ethipian army or the local madman,its still a senseless killing.

Allaha u naxariisto, gacan ka xaqdaran baa dishay. Killing the best and the brightest is a doomed strategy. When Somalis will learn violence is not the solution.

Kooxo ku Hubeysan bistoolada ayaa xalay deegaanka buula xuubeey ee Muqdisho waxaa si fool xun ugu dileen nin wadaad ah. Wadaadkaan oo aad caan uga ahaa deegaanka Buulo xuubeey laguna Magacaabi jiray Sheekh Maxamed Axmed ayaa shirqool waxaa ku dilay kooxda Alshaab xili uu ka soo baxay masjid uu ku soo tukaday.

 

 

Isla maanta ayaa wadaadkaas allaha u naxariistee waxaa lagu aasay qabuuro ku yaala deegaankaas. Waxaana aaskiisii ka soo qaybgalay dad aad uga tiiraanyaysan dilka foosha xun ee loo gaystya ninkaas culamada ahaa oo aan wax lug ah ku lahayn siyaasada ay isaga soo horjeedaan kooxda Alshaab iyo xukuumada Somaliya.

 

 

Dilalka iyo shirqoolada ka dhaca magaalada Muqdishu ayaa waxaa gaysta kooxaha dowlada ka soo horjeeda oo dadka shacabka ah ku bajinaya inaysan wax wada shaqayn ah la yeelan dowlada KMG ah haddii kale ay naftiida waayayaan. Waxaa la yaab ah in kooxahaasi sheegtaan inay u dagaalamayaan diinta alle oo ay jihad ku jiraan.
