Jamal Khashoggi-style detention is part of Somalia’s Intelligence global campaign to locate, kidnap and kill Somali citizens

Ikran Tahlil Farah, a 25-year-old girl is missing for more than 22 days in Mogadishu, and her mother Qali Mohamud Guhad accused top Somalia’s Intelligence chiefs of abducting her educated daughter.

The mother, who lives in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, has called on Somalia’s outgoing president Farmajo and PM Mohamed Hussein Roble to intervene in the matter and investigate the whereabouts of Ikran, who holds a diplomatic passport.

CCTV footage appears to show Ikran was picked up a Toyota Hilux from her home between KM-0 and the global hotel right across. from the NISA HQs known at night carrying her laptop and never returned.

In a preliminary investigation into the case of Ikran Tahlil, it appears to me that she has followed in the footsteps of former officials killed by Fahad and Kulane Jiis who’s deputy director of NISA and naturalized US citizen in their “Kill and Hide” assassination program,” said Gen Abdalla Abdalla who served as deputy NISA boss.

The former top NISA official added that he fears Ikran was killed just like the premeditated murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside Saudi Arabia’s Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey by a hit squad in 2018 whose dead body never seen again.

It’s unclear yet why the young girl was abducted but sources tell Keydmedia English that she was an employee of the Benadir regional administration and has sensitive information about the assassination of former Mogadishu mayor Eng Abdirahman Yarisow in July 2019.

Former international intelligence officer said An elite team of operatives helped carry out the kidnapping of Ikran. . The team reports directly to Farmaajo and Fahad Yasin, who cultivated a climate of fear that made it unlikely for aides to act without their consent

US and international intelligence agencies should initiate a kidnapping investigation involving a missing young woman Ikran Tahliil Farah.
