THE KILLERS OF THE PEOPLE ENJOY IMPUNITY AS THEY KILL THE PEOPLE FROM THE CRADLE…

Mogadishu (GLED) –after four days of heavy fighting that engulfed more than 75 people, the situation of Mogadishu yet is in dilemma and the people are still worrying about another possible war.
Both parts are still threatening each other and the people are still confusing as if the other fighting will take lives of many other people.
A mission team from GLED Somalia visited the hospitals and the war areas to assess the situation and help those are still in the war areas with out a way to escape.
The GLED team met in Madina Hospital a 3 month old young girl called Amina Zahra Moalim who was seriously wounded in the arms and the stomach.
The team made an interview with Amina’s Mother and asked how her infant was victimised.
The gloomy mother crying said “The fighting was the misfortune of my daughter, because she was 85 days only in the world, now she is victim and no body is trying to punish those harmed my child” adding that “the bullets hit her arm and stomach and I am afraid that she will be mentally retarded because she banged her head on the ground when she bounced from the bet to the ground because of the reaction of the missile that destroyed the house”.
Amina’s situation is very critical and she is the youngest victim in the fighting.
Her family are very poor, her father is teacher and her mother was keeping small kiosk in front of their house but the storms of the missiles those destroyed their house and wounded Amina also destroyed the kiosk.
The perpetrators of the cases like these are members of the transitional federal government (TFG) and want to make the blood of the people as bridge to reach political positions.
Most of the education sectors are still closed; the people are alert to flee while more than 180 wounds remain in the hospitals those GLED Team visited on Tuesday-Monday.
Ugaso Sharif 23, pregnant mother of two children was paralysed by bullets on her backbone, she is in very serious situation and the doctors told her that they can’t do any thing for her.
Ugaso said “before a week I was working to get survival for my kids, but now I am paralyse and I feel very helpless, I don’t have money to go outside the country and the doctors told me that they have no way to safe my life” adding that “my house was destroyed, and my children are in displacement, while the perpetrators are still announcing another war”.

The situation is very critical, the people are hopeless and the phenomenon is another war that will destroy the lives of the rest of the people.

Not only Amin but the fighting affected the people extremely.
Elmi Mohamed Ahmed a 13 years old child who was seriously wounded in the stomach and other parts of his body, but recovered after four hours surgery told GLED “I was preparing to go to school with my younger siblings, unfortunately the fighting started, three of us were seriously wounded and my younger sister died”
Uneasy efforts are maintained by some well-known moderate religious leaders, but still don’t seem to have means to bring parts to gather in same table, because the fighting parts have still energy to fight and kill more people with out accountability.

Why the people feel that they are in dilemma?
The people are too nervous about the situation that they are facing at moment and at the future.
Prof. Abdulkader Mohamed Osman a lecturer in Somali Institute of Management and Administration development (SIMAD Institute) in Mogadishu shows his anxiety about the future of the country.
Osman said “I am worrying how the things are going on, the Sharia courts seem to have defeated the warlords and want to take power in the capital city” adding that “if the Islamists succeed the power, United States may attack on Somalia like Afghanistan and Iraq pursuing allegedly Alqaeda members, if the warlords succeed the security will worsen and killings of innocent people will continue.”.
Aweis Nur Abukar secretary general of Somali Youth Development network said to “I don’t believe that one of the rivals will fully succeed, but the result is the massacre of the people and displacement of the rest” adding that “The international community can send all of them to international criminal court in Hague and charge them war crimes, because they committed war crimes and violated the arms embargo in the country”.
Anfa Amin, the GLED deputy chairlady said “as the fighting is going the arms embargo is violated and the gun dealers order new frighting” adding that “If the UN waits more years these warlords will finsih the people and they will kill like the beasts”
The Islamists started propaganda offering CD-Room video clips about the fighting edited with some of their aims intended to succeed the public opinion to the Cyber-café.
Somalia is with out government for a long time and the people in the country are the hostages of the guns and gangs since 1991 when the central government was ousted from the authority.
