Day after day, the violence in Mogadishu and the major towns in Somali continues. I ask, how long will it be before we see an end to civilian deaths, torture, and destruction of national asset? It seems that the current Transitional National Government led by Abdullahi Yusuf is unable to bring the nation together and reconcile, in a good faith, with opposition groups. Let me share with you an example of the most recent violence in Somalia.
Mogadishu 08, August.07 ( Sh.M.Network)
Unidentified gunmen shot a civilian dead outside Mogadishu's Bakara market on Wednesday. Witnesses said two men armed with pistols shot Omar Elmi Dirir dead while leaving a local bank in the area.
The body of Omar Elmi Dirir, a Somali businessman lies in the road outside Mogadishu's Bakara market after he was shot dead by unknown gunmen Wednesday August 8, 2007. Witnesses said he was a businessman from Kismayu, 500 kilometers south of MogadishuHis body was lying in the middle of the road until someone recognized him later and gave the name of the victim.
It is not yet clear why he was killed. Some family members indicated that he was a businessman who had nothing with politics. They said he was sending some money to his family in the port city of Kismayu, 500 kilometers south of the unstable capital, Mogadishu.The employees of a local bank said he was shot dead while getting out of the bank.Government police soon arrived and sealed off the scene, opening gunshots. No suspect has been detained for the murder. http://www.shabelle.net/news/ne3495.htm
