actor1: Unidentified Armed Group (Somalia)
actor2: Civilians (Somalia)
notes: Suspected al Shabaab shot and killed eight traditional elders (possibly from Dir Clan) outside of Buurhakaba town. The group, who were travelling by bus when they were stopped and attacked, had recently taken part in an election that pushed for the proposal of creating a new state in the south-west of Somalia. Al Shabaab later denied the attack, blaming the attack on the what they called 'apostate militias in the region.'
