Baidoa, April 18, 2009 (SL Times) – A member of al-Shabab militia in Baidoa shot and killed a Somali man after they argued about why the man was not attending noon prayer. According to reports from Baidoa the man was stopped in the street by the al-Shabab militia and was asked why was he in the street and not in the mosque praying since it was the time for the Muslim noon prayer. An argument ensued, and al-Shabab militiaman shot and killed the civilian man.
Since their takeover of Baidoa, al-Shabab has imposed a set of harsh restrictions on the residents of the city including a curfew that starts at 7:30 p.m. Twenty five people were arrested and jailed Thursday for violating the curfew.
