location: Gaalkacyo
notes: A well known arms dealer Abdi Dheere from the Isse Mohamud sub-clan of Darood/Majerteen was involved in a fight with a pirate leader hailing from the Dir clan outside Omar Samatar High School. The dealer was killed on the spot. The fight between the men broke out as a result of a long standing dispute related to arms business. Angered local residents later attacked pirates in Bola Baclay area (dominated by the Dir clan) and killed one pirate and injured another one. Abdi Dheere was known as one of the leading suppliers of weapons to pirates and a major figure on the Galkacyo illegal arms market.
