in the Abud-waq district of central Somalia, regional authorities carried out the death sentence of Khalif Warsame, for the murder of his brother and a next of kin teenage boy. "I am very happy with this death sentence," Khalif said as his eyes were covered by his executioners. Hundreds of viewers arrived at the execution site as his legs and arms were tightly bound with ropes. He was taken to the shooting-post where he was hit by bullets from the shotguns. After the execution, the elders of the Abud-waq district promised that each murderer would be sentenced to death like Khalif.
