Short Reports of Somalia


House to house searches continue next day in Kismayo, Lower Jubba region.  People arrested in these operations have reached almost 600 people, as reported by BBC Somali Service reporter in Mogadishu[1].

The same reporter in the same program referenced above has noted a high  delegation from the federal government  coming to Kismaayo to asses the situation in the town after Shebab was removed from the town.  They have visited various places, including the port.

BBC Somali service in the same program referenced above has also reported people evicted from their homes and businesses because they were located in public premises.  They settled these public premises after they have left their homes due to wars raging in relevant areas. The government should have given them an alternative before evicting them.

An attempt to throw missiles at the main airport in Mogadishu has been prevented, as reported by Somali police[2].  Some of the people apprehended were well-known Shebab members, as claimed by a regional police commander. No evidence to prove this point has been supplied.
