A tragic incident unfolded in Mogadishu’s Yaqshiid district, where suspected Al-Shabaab gunmen fatally attacked three young business owners at their premises.
Reports suggest that the attack, carried out on Sunday, was connected to the victims’ decision to install CCTV cameras at their businesses, a move aimed at enhancing security in line with government directives.
The presence of CCTV cameras, which aids surveillance and law enforcement efforts, may have made these individuals targets for the militant group, which often resists measures that could compromise its operational secrecy.
Authorities are investigating, and this incident highlights the persistent security challenges faced by entrepreneurs in Somalia.
