The Somaliland Administration has executed nine prisoners by firing squad in Mandera, following their conviction for various murder offences according to close confidant reports.<\/p>\n
The executions were carried out this morning after the prisoners had been sentenced to death by Somaliland courts for separate murder cases.<\/p>\n
The executions followed the approval of the death sentences by Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Cirro, who signed the orders authorising their implementation.<\/p>\n
The nine individuals were convicted of murder, with most reportedly being members of different Somaliland security forces. Some of their cases had been handled by the Military Court.<\/p>\n
Qisas, an Islamic legal principle that allows retributive punishment for murder, is among the severest penalties imposed by Somaliland courts. Such cases undergo judicial proceedings before execution orders are authorised.<\/p>\n
Mandera located in the Sahil region outside Hargeisa, has historically served as an execution site for death sentences issued by successive Somaliland administrations.<\/p>\n
Authorities have not yet released further details, including the identities of the nine executed prisoners, the specific murders they committed or the individual cases that led to their convictions.<\/p>\n
