Somali military official calls for war crimes in the fight against Al-Shabaab

[Periplus]

Murdering the mothers and wives of AS fighters is against every International rule book and will surely see us slapped with sanctions.

There is no way to tell whether those individuals are there by force or from free will and by killing them, we inevitably murder some innocents.

Man said sanctions, I promise you nobody at the UNSC knows what a Hiiraan is

This a heavily edited video, taken out of context. If I can find it will post the full video.
The video I saw he was talking about Alshabab members regardless if they are your family you should kill them. Not innocent people. So stop quoting media that their agenda is to be the mouthpiece for the terrorist.

he didn’t say anything wrong

Post the full video and if you’re right, I’ll delete the thread.

Extremely illegal, like facing charges in the Hauge type of illegal.

When shabaab is killing women, children and civilians
When we want to retaliate

I say torture every single supporter til death. Bring all their wives and make them walk through a mine field. Poison their waters. Give them the worse death possible,

Ninja edit: I don't actually mean it but that's how infuriating their actions are.

Killing woman and children is not permissible under Islamic law. It’s not even permissible under international law and local culture/customs. Killing innocent woman and children, elderly etc is not only unethical, it’s also counterproductive as you’re just going to be providing ammunition to Al-Shabab’s propaganda which would radicalize those under it’s occupation to join the terrorist group which would make our war against Al-Shabab even more difficult.

The UN and other NGOs based in Halane do, or did you forget the amount of oversight in Somalia….

This isn’t even the full one but it at least more context what he was talking about in his speech.

 

[Magaffe]

The good old 1991-1993 special. Record yourself calling for war crimes

 

[Qofwalan]

If you pay attention he clearly said oo aad og tihin inu shabab yahay stop misquoting him enemy is enemy

 

[3LetterzMM]

I don’t agree with going about it this way but tbf this is probably the easiest way to scare people away from al shabaab. No one’s gonna harbor terrorists if their life’s on the line.

If you condone the murder of innocent people you are al-shabab too. You are a terrorist place and simple.

Cbb mujrimin pr stunt.

Maybe it’s a PR stunt but the government should immediately distance themselves from this.

We can’t have Halane releasing a statement about this.

Still a crime if you have no definitive proof that they were AS.

There’s a difference between “accidentally” killing a non-combatant (such as wife) in an operation and making it a policy to target them.

Also having it on video isn’t the smartest idea…

Killing people that are part of al shabab is not illegal, which is what he said. Not those related to Al Shabab. Brush up on your Somali. Anyway, the US kill people related to terrorists all the time. Where is their charges?

Pre 1991 was even worse

Bruh, I don’t need to brush up on it, I lived back home.

You missed my point.

There will inevitably be innocent deaths from this policy as it is very hard to verify beyond reasonable doubt that someone is innocent.

So by targeting the wives and relatives of AS members, you will have some trigger happy soldiers that won’t do due diligence.

Even the US tries to stay clear from deliberately targeting relatives of terrorists as a policy.
