Somalia's president says he "wants answers" from South Africa after
the brutal murder of a Somali man in Port Elizabeth, Al Jazeera has
learned.
The Somali man, 25-year-old Abdi Nasir Mahmoud Good, was stoned to
death on May 30 by a mob. The violence was captured on a mobile phone
and shared on the internet.
Sheik Mohammed, Somalia's president, called on his South African
counterpart Jacob Zuma to "act immediately" to arrest those responsible.
Kamal Gutale, chief of staff in the Somali presidency, told Al
Jazeera on Monday: "The president has asked Mr Zuma and his foreign
minister to look into the matter and investigate the brutal killing and
violence."
The murder is the latest in a number of attacks on Somali immigrants
in South Africa. Police are investigating the death but no one has been
arrested.
