The boat was navigating across Marka’s coast in between locations of Jilib and Gardanshe. Al-Shabaab fired at the boat after they allegedly suspected it to be used to spy against them by joint troops of AMISOM and Somali soldiers.
“The boat was carrying five fishermen who were sailing across locations of the district, Al-Shabaab fired at the boat and area they had their base and killed one of the fishermen,” the former Governor of Marka told an online media platform.
