Somalia’s leader stated that he “wants responses” from South Africa after the brutal killing of a Somali man in dock Elizabeth, Al Jazeera reported.
The Somali man, 25-year-old Abdi Nasir Mahmoud, was stoned to death on May 30 by a mob. The aggression was apprehended on a wireless phone and distributed on the internet. Sheik Mohammed, Somalia’s leader, called on his South African equivalent Jacob Zuma to act directly and to arrest those to blame.
Kamal Gutale, head of employees in the Somali presidency, notified Al Jazeera on Monday that the leader had inquired Mr. Zuma and his foreign minister to gaze into the matter and find out more about the brutal murdering and violence.
The murder stated here is the latest in a number of attacks on Somali immigrants in South Africa. Policemen are investigating the death, but no one has been apprehended yet. The Somali presidency said the topic was raised on the margins of the Tokyo worldwide Conference on African Development (TICAD) in Tokyo on Sunday, after the Somali community was struck again by a sequence of attacks in South Africa over the last week.
The graphic footage displays the bare-chested Good lying in the middle of a road while a mob pelt him with rocks and boulders as pedestrians and vehicles overtake by. Local newspapers said Good was assaulted while endeavoring to protect his shop from looters. He was furthermore stabbed in the violence.
The Somali community in South Africa, which figures a few hundred thousand, answered with outrage. The Somali Association of South Africa (SASA) told Al Jazeera that at smallest five other Somalis were hurt, and about 40 shops were looted in the four provinces across the homeland. It seems that at the time, leader Zuma was not aware of the incident and acted very surprised when Gutale told him about its facts.
The South African president promised to gaze into the issue and identify the truth in this matter. But SASA said that the South African government has frequently failed to proceed on this and preceding the attack on foreigners.
It seems that this was not the first time such things happen, and it also seems they happen quite often. The South African government is not taking any action. As a consequence, the community is furious because there’s nothing done by the government every time such things occurs. SASA spokesman Ismaeel Abdi Adan explained the situation in detail, although the South African presidency was unable to comment the situation and still lacks communications on the matter.
The African Centre for Migration and Society at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg said in a report issued in 2012 that Somali-run enterprises suffered disproportionately from misdeed, encompassing attacks by competing South African traders.
The South African government has mentioned that previous violence against foreigners was a result of criminality and not xenophobia and that people tend to overreact on this subject.
