Abdifatah Moalim Nur "Qeys"

　ソマリアでジャーナリストがひとり、自爆テロで暗殺された。もはや10月だが、これが今年最初のジャーナリスト暗殺事例となる模様。

BBC Somali Cable Television's director Nur killed in suicide blast 17 Oct 2023 By Wycliffe Muia

　モガディシュでの犯行。レストランで―というのは割と定番。なお巻き添えの負傷者も4名あったとのこと。

「Tributes have been paid to a prominent Somali TV journalist after he was killed in a suicide bombing at a restaurant in the capital, Mogadishu.

Abdifatah Moalim Nur, popularly known as Qeys, was described by colleagues as "exceptional" and "inspiring".

He becomes the first journalist to be killed in Somalia this year, according to a local media watchdog.

The al-Qaeda-linked militant group, al-Shabab, said it carried out the suicide attack at Blue Sky restaurant.」

　無論、al-Shababの犯行。
　…昨年は複数例のジャーナリスト殺害があり、うち一件は100人以上が死亡した爆弾テロでの巻き添えだった様子。ということは今回は「殺る気」まんまんだったと評価されようか。

「In October last year, journalist Mohamed Isse Hassan was among more than 100 people killed in twin car bombings in Mogadishu.

A month earlier, a reporter with state-owned Somali National Television, Ahmed Mohamed Shukur, was by killed by a landmine near the capital.」

　こういう場合は「ジャーナリストの殺害に抗議します」と言った言葉を添えるのが通例だろう。
