MOGADISHU,
(CAJ News) – AN outbreak of violence has forced up to 100 000 people to flee their homes in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, this week.
Among those displaced by ethnic violence that erupted last Sunday are internally displaced people who had sought refuge in the city but have again fled to find refuge at the outskirts.
“I am extremely concerned about the deteriorating security situation in Mogadishu,” said Cesar Arroyo, acting Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia.
“Apart from displacing innocent civilians, the initial violence has created uncertainty and fear of disruptions of humanitarian assistance to hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people across the city.”
