A Mogadishu police officer appeared before a military court on Monday after fatally shooting a colleague over a dispute involving the use of a toilet.
Witnesses reported that the shocking motive behind the killing was frustration over the victim using the toilet first and taking too long.
This tragic incident highlights the urgent need for reforms in discipline, conflict management, and mental health awareness within Somalia’s security forces.
The court’s proceedings will likely focus on accountability and setting a precedent to prevent such occurrences in the future.
