Somalian Alberta Turf War Shows No End
He came to Alberta looking to pay for university, instead allegedly finding drugs and bad friends. Now, his slain body will lay in Alberta forever, his name marked on a long list of dead young Somali-Canadian men. Abdinasir Abdulkadir Dirie wont make it to first-year university this fall, the kind of prosperous future his father sought for his family when he immigrated. I thought Canada is a peace country. (It offered) a future for my life, my children. This is a very bad thing.said Abdulkadir Tarambi, the 19-year-olds father. Abdulkadir Dirie was a native of Toronto. He was set to study computer science at York University in the fall, and saw prosperous Alberta as a way to pay for it, said Tarambi. (Young people) heard in Alberta you can get an easy job, get a lot of money, said Tarambi. In August 2008, he moved to Edmonton, staying with his older brother in Edmonton and working at Tim Hortons. Then he headed to Fort McMurray with an oil and gas job. By January, he was in trouble. According to the RCMP, Abdulkadir Dirie was arrested alongside four other young men, including a minor, in a Fort McMurray apartment Jan. 22. All were charged with possession of cocaine for trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000. Abdulkadir Dirie was released on $500 bail, while his alleged associates paid thousands to be released. The last time his family heard from Abdulkadir Dirie was April 20, said family friend Mohamed Mohamed. Abdulkadir Dirie told his mother, as he often repeated, that he was coming home. Hed even bought a ticket, said Mohamed. Abdulkadir Diries body was found April 21 in an apartment on McDonald Avenue.

Somalians caught up in Alberta Turf Wars, K'naan speaks
Somali-Canadians from Ontario are being gunned down at an alarming rate in Alberta. Police blame the drug trade. Many of the deaths have been public execution-style slayings, family members say. "It seems like they want to send out a message, like, do not come near us," Mahmoud said. Alberta police agree, saying some of the killings have been "a message to Toronto," the CBC's John Lancaster reported.

The Life and Death of Abdinasir Dirie (Part 1 of 4)
Who really killed Abdinasir Dirie? A heart-rending story from inside Canada's Somali community. In the 1990s, Abdinasir Dirie's parents fled civil war in Somalia for the apparent peace and safety of Canada. Years later, G Baby, as his family called him, made his own way from the rough streets of Toronto's Jamestown Cres. (Doomstown) neighbourhood to the oilfields of Alberta looking for riches and good fortune. There, he died and his murder remains unsolved, like so many other murders of young Somali-Canadians. The extra twist in this case: some members of his family are convinced they know who committed the crime. Hear from the family of Abdinasir Dirie as the fifth estate explores the searing pain of their struggle and peels back the layers of a story even more complicated than anyone originally expected.

Somali gang linked to sex trafficking
e search warrant indicates the Somalian gangs force women into prostitution and then move them across state lines. Sources tell FIVE EYEWITNESS NEWS that as many as 40 suspects could be involved stretching across several states. The warrant indicates federal agents, the Minnesota BCA and St. Paul Police are working on the investigation and it also shows the U.S. Attorney in Tennessee is part of the case, too. The document goes on to say that there is evidence of "other crimes" committed by these gangs in conjunction with the prostitution ring. Sources tell FIVE EYEWITNESS NEWS that this is an 18-month investigation and it is likely the scope of the investigation will have national implications and it is also likely there will be illegal weapons and drugs connected to the probe.
