BBC US investigates ex-Uber driver for Somalia torture 20 Nov 2022 By Will Ross

「A former officer in the Somali army is being investigated in the United States for torture, extra-judicial killings and arbitrary detentions allegedly committed in the 1980s.

Yusuf Abdi Ali, known as Colonel Tukeh, was previously the commander of a military brigade during Siad Barre's dictatorship.」

　バーレ政権崩壊後ということですか、ソマリアを逃げでてカナダにゆき、しかしそこで過去の悪行に関するデータが積み重なり―そこで米国に逃げてUberのドライバーを務めていたという。

　…生きていくって大変ね…。

「Years after fleeing the region, allegations of abuses keep resurfacing.

In 1992, Ali was deported from Canada after witnesses in a documentary said he'd ordered numerous murders.

Ali later moved to the US and became an Uber driver, until three years ago a US jury convicted him of torturing a Somali teenager in 1987 - which he denied.」

　どこまで本当のことか、彼にものっそい金銭の支払いを命ぜられて、しかし墓掘り人にわいろを贈って逃げた人がいるとか。

「Ali was ordered to pay $500,000 (£420,000) to the victim, who said he'd survived by bribing gravediggers to spare him.」

　別にこの一事が真実でなくとも、あれこれやらかしてはいただろう…と、そうは思えますが。
