MOGADISHU, Somalia — The Somali Future Council has strongly condemned an attack on the home of former Somali Custodial Corps commander General Mahad Abdirahman in Doolow, raising concerns over allegations that foreign-backed drones were involved.
In a statement, the council said the reported attack was deeply concerning, particularly amid claims that drones supported by foreign actors were used to target the general’s residence.
The council noted that General Mahad had previously been removed from his position and detained following a political dispute linked to his family’s relationship with former South West president Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen.
It said that, to its knowledge, the former commander had not been charged with any criminal or terrorism-related offence.
