Waagacusub.net- If you are in Mogadishu ,you will likely be arrested, detained and the next day you fund yourself at the shooting squad without knowing the crime that you have committed.The last minutes of your life your mind is very busy to get a response for why you are being executed by firing squad.

You never receive an answer for such kind of question because you were replaced a terrorist militant that convicted killing innocent people after Shabab's businessmen had bribed the security agents.

If you are in Mogadishu, you will likely be injured or killed by suicide bomber that blew himself up around you and  if you were injured you may never get an emergency support or immediate hospitalization that you needed because the cameramen are busy for taking pictures of your flesh or people may asking themselves which tribe you are.

If you are in Mogadishu, you will likely be shot to death by two hurriedly militants that mistakenly assumed that you were a spy for the government simply because you went to see one of your tribesmen to get a dollar from him because you are unemployed but you receive nothing even a cent. 

For the last minutes of your life, you are asking yourself why are you killed ,your children became orphans or your mother missed you forever.

If you are in Mogadishu, you will likely be arrested on your way to work and thrown to a jail known as the cave of Jilicow.

When your poor wife and children are expecting to get their bread of the day from you - you are subjected a severe torture following after merciless interrogators, who were indoctrinated to enjoy the suffering of others placed a plastic bags on your head near to suffocation. 

After beating and suffocation hazard,the merciless interrogators asked you questions like how involved are you in the terrorist militant of Al-Shabaab or any other group? But other hand, their purpose is obvious as they merely want to extort your family in return of your release. They demand five thousand  U.S dollar when your family's income is less than a dollar a day. 

Your houses can be confiscated to be given a rich man that regarded the location of your house very important place. When you ask why? The answer is simply you don't have a right to own this land since Siyad Barre's regime illegally given to you such a good place.

This policy is being implemented by Somalia's extremist group of Al-Shabaab and President's Islamist political party of Damul Jadiid 'New Blood" , a faction or splinter of Muslim Brotherhood.  

These two entities are the main players of Somalia and the driving force behind the destruction of Somalia. The government of Qatar is their financier and as long as the Somalia's two houses of the parliament remain muted the hope of Somalia will end there.
