Doolow, Gedo (WDN) — Former Somali Custodial Corps Commander General Mahad Abdirahman Adan, widely known as Taliye Shub, and his wife have been evacuated to Nairobi for medical treatment after sustaining injuries in an overnight attack on the house where they were staying in Doolow, Gedo region.
The attack has immediately become politically explosive, with Jubaland officials, the national opposition and opposition forces in South West State accusing the Federal Government of targeting General Mahad and alleging that Turkish military aircraft or Turkish-supported capabilities were involved.
Those allegations have not been independently verified. The Federal Government has categorically denied responsibility, saying preliminary information gathered by security agencies indicates that the explosions resulted from explosive materials allegedly being prepared inside the house. The government has also announced plans to establish a fact-finding committee to determine what happened, why it happened and who was responsible.
The competing accounts have left a central question unanswered: Was General Mahad deliberately targeted, and if so, who ordered and carried out the attack?
