The beheadings on Saturday followed a battle in the Hiran region of Hirshabelle State, where there has been significant fighting this month between al Shabaab and newly expanded militias allied with the federal government.
Al Shabaab has increasingly burned houses, destroyed wells, and beheaded civilians in the Hiran region, residents say; that, combined with its demands for taxes amidst the worst drought in 40 years, has pushed more residents to take up arms. Reuters was not independently able to verify the authenticity of the videos, but three witnesses to the beheadings said they were real. Seven other residents, including Abdulle, said family members had been present and confirmed the deaths to them.“Al Shabaab put us in hell. So, our people decided to liberate themselves. My daughter is also fighting in the frontline, she has an AK-47 on her shoulder,” resident Halima Ismail said.An al Shabaab spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
