House to house searches have been reported in Kismayo,
Lower Shabelle region, by BBC Somali service reporter in Mogadishu.
Communications were cut, presumably to stop information
exchange. Around 300 people were arrested suspected of being behind the recent
insecurities in the town[1].
Residents heard expositions
during the explosions, as reported by a BBC reporter[2].
He then asked the interim spokesperson of the Kismayo administration, Abdi
Naasir Maah about the explosions. He said they exploded planted mines.
Analysis.
It is very common practice to carry out large scale operations
intended to apprehend people who are behind the insecurity in the town, and then
after investigations, most of them are freed. Yes the insecurities continue.
This method is less effective, even though it reduces the
overall insecurities. It is better to build a network of intelligent officers
who are assigned at particular parts of the town to go after people who throw
grenades or plant mines in the town and then bring them to justice by using
greater force.
This method works better, it but would require more
sustained work and funds. This fund can easily be secured by taxing the people
of the city and its surroundings: transportations, business, airports, the port
and other properties such as houses. Efficient taxation system is needed as
well as a system that is free from corruption to assure the security of the
people Kismayo, Lower Jubba region in general.
