Download What does the death of a Somali actor tell us about clan killings?
Aano Qabiil - or Clan Vengeance - is a short film which explores the vendettas between clans which have led to many senseless deaths in Somalia. One of the actors in the film is veteran poet and songwriter, Guudey Mohamed Geedi. He plays a man who tries to intervene to stop the owner of the teashop from being killed by a rival clan.
After filming finished, Guudey Mohamed Geedi went to his village outside Warsheikh, in the Middle Shabelle region, to see his family. He was shot dead outside his home by armed men.
Africa Daily’s Peter Musembi has been speaking to BBC Somali journalist Abdinasir Ali about how the tragedy has started a discussion about clan revenge killings.
