we know who's behind the murder of this great somali man. it's the sick zombie ideology that perpetrated the recent macabre court massacre. somalia sadly will never have full peace because that ideology has taken deep roots in the country. if you think it's just al shabaab your mistaken, somalia is teeming with islamic fanatics in every sector today. shartoda rabiyo naga qabo
