Somali Islamists Kill Two Girls Branded Spies

“This execution is yet another human rights abuse committed by the criminals,” the Somali government said. “This act of killing innocent children does not have Islamic and humanitarian justifications.” A fireing squad lined up in the center of a town named Beledweyne, near Etheopia. The women where said to have been Ethopian spies that had ties to the invasion in of Somolia 2006. The community members Beledwayne were very scared when this occured becuase the men came in trucks with speaks anounncing then execution and that they must attend. The two girls were ages 14 and 18, also the community argued that the girls were innocent and meerly just caught in the crossfire of a war. This is a scary example of how much power these groups have on certain areas in the world and how they use the element of fear to rule.
