A MILLION SHILLINGS
SHIMBIRO, SOMALIA- NOVEMBER 2007.Women duck behind rocks as they run under a barrage of heavy gunfire in the mountains backing Shimbiro Beach. Waiting to depart on smuggler's boats across the Gulf of Aden, the already terrorised passengers are put in further danger by the drunk and well-armed boat crew. Having already openly executed three tahrib on the beach after they became too terrified to board a waiting doon, organisers are now insisting that others come back down from the cliffs. To the laughing smugglers, it is an exercise in control. The women eventually head back to the beach sheepishly; as the firing continues they have little choice but to obey the demands.
