Somalis flee Mogadishu over fear of new armed clashes

As tensions rise in Mogadishu, residents of the Somalian capital flee their homes, fearing armed clashes will renew in their neighbourhoods. Over the past few days, military forces opposed to President Farmajo s term extension, took over positions in Mogadishu, barricading roads along Maka al Mukarrama, a key road that is often used by the government officials. On Sunday night, sporadic bursts of heavy gunfire rang out across the capital after fighting broke out between government forces and soldiers allied along clan lines to various opposition leaders. They asked locals to leave the area. Armed men dressed in military uniforms, they came to us at 2.30 am local time and told us to leave and escape with our wives and children say Abdi Ali Abdi, a resident of Mogadishu.

Somalis flee fearing fresh violence as president loses support

Alarm is mounting over a splintering of the country’s security forces into rival factions. The International Crisis Group (ICG) said in a statement that the “immediate trigger” for Sunday’s violence was the influx of army units loyal to one of the opposition presidential candidates, who had abandoned their posts in south-central Hirshabelle one of the frontlines of the fight against the Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab. These troops, who have barricaded roads and deployed trucks mounted with machine guns, were now “in control of sections of the capital”, said the ICG. AFP spoke with one military commander who had entered Mogadishu to fight for the opposition and vowed to remain in the capital until Farmajo had been toppled.
