Calls for Justice for Mogadishu Man Killed During Ethiopian PM’s Recent Visit

A federal lawmaker has alleged that Yahye Abdi, a young man, was unjustly killed while swimming at Lido Beach during Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s visit.

PM Ahmed was in Mogadishu this week on a One-Day visit that lasted roughly four hours.

Mostly, he spent the time in deep conversations with his host, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, before visiting Lido Beach prior to his departure.

The legislator is calling for justice for the victim’s family, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Abdi’s death.

The incident has raised concerns and demands for accountability, particularly in light of the heightened security measures often associated with high-profile visits.

Further details about the case, including official statements or investigations, would be necessary to fully understand the situation and ensure appropriate action is taken.
