A Somali journalist who had recently decided to return to his home country was shot dead in Mogadishu earlier this week, becoming the eighth journalist to be killed in the conflict-torn nation this year.

Mohamud Ali Keyre, also known as ‘Buneyste’ was reportedly shot in the head, with witnesses and other journalists suggesting that the bullet was shot by a government soldier.

The 23-year-old freelance journalist worked for Horyaalmedia.com news website, and used to work for the Voice of Democracy radio station before fleeing to Kenya after he received death threats.
