BBC Somali MPs approve ex-militant's cabinet appointment 7 Aug 2022
「Somalia's parliament has approved the appointment of a new cabinet which includes the former spokesman of militant Islamist group al-Shabab, the state-owned news agency Sonna has reported.
Mukhtar Robow's appointment as religious affairs minister was announced by Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre on Tuesday.」
「He had defected from al-Shabab in 2013, and had been placed under house arrest by the former government.」
「Some analysts saw his appointment as an attempt by the new government to wage an ideological war against al-Shabab.」
その目的はal Shababに対するイデオロギー闘争のためとか、なんとか。まあとりあえず、旧反対勢力に対する和解の一形態、ということでよいのは一面、確かだろう。
しかし、まあ。イデオロギー闘争なんぞ必要な相手かね？ というのも一方の事実か。

「Several other people including his security guards were injured. Earlier this week the mayor of the port city of Merka - in the same region of Somalia - was also killed.」

なおエチオピア国境地帯でもずっと不穏。
