Somalia is a coastal country, and because of its internal poverty, many people have taken risks to act as pirates and rob passing ships. When arrested, they are generally sentenced to death in order to set an example.
The execution time in Somalia is daylight, you can see that the execution place is clear and clear, and the prisoner must be full of nostalgia for the world and remorse for his actions in such good weather, but it is too late to say anything.
The weather was nice on the day
The location is on a school playground in the capital city of Mogadishu, and the photo shows that the playground is a bit like the style of the sand playground of primary and secondary schools in the 90s, relatively primitive, but the ground is relatively flat.
In front is a playground
Next to the playground stands a wooden pillar painted with white paint that is one person high, which functions almost the same as the white mask mentioned later, and is used for positioning. However, there are also pillars made of primary wood that are executed.
In the photo, the two prisoners had solemn expressions before execution, looking at the camera, one of them was full of sweat on his head, and the other was full of salt stains, I don't know if it was hot or scared.
The last one
Full of remorse
The prisoner is then put on a white hood and made of red, yellow, dark green and blue strings, and his hands are bound to this wooden pillar behind his back.
It can be seen that the environment behind the prisoners is relatively chaotic, there are some randomly discarded garbage, mostly colorful plastic bags, some green vegetation not far away, and then sand dunes extending upward.
This place is a natural shooting range, and from the environmental point of view, the firing squad executes with a wide view, and there are sand dunes behind it, which can prevent ricciding.
Before the execution begins, the auxiliary executor must first put the executed person's body in a correct position, so as to facilitate execution. At this time, the executor is generally actively cooperating, thinking that he will walk calmly.
It's important to get yourself in the right position at all times
At this time, 20 meters away, the firing squad members were in place, and the substitutes were also preparing in the back row. The executive aimed at the white mask and hit the head.
The firing squads are in place
After the execution was completed, after the professional inspection and confirmation, a transport team of seven people, carrying white cloth sheets, lifted the prisoners and transported them out of the scene.
Transport squad
These men climbed over the sand dunes, carrying white sheets, helping the prisoners find a life station, and another carrying a shovel broke, apparently responsible for digging a hole and filling in the area.
