location: Garissa
notes: An ONLF sympathiser narrowly survives an assassination attempt from suspected Ethiopian Liyu Police paramilitary gunmen. Suspicious of three men that entered a cafe he was patronizing, the target grabbed one of his would-be assailants, using him as a human shield. The ONLF target was shot, along with his human shield, multiple times and taken to a hospital in Nairobi. The attack was an apparent retaliation for a ONLF launched attack on a man known as Sheikh Abdi Rashid.
