MOGADISHU (RBC) Somalia lawmakers denounced on Monday the indiscriminate bombardment targeted to the civilians by the African Union troops [known as AMISOM] in Mogadishu that left 16 dead, RBC Radio reports.
Lawmaker Mohamud Gedi held press conference in Mogadishu blamed AMISOM troops to be targeting civilians rather than Al-Shabab bases in Mogadishu.
“We call AMISOM forces to minimize the heavy shelling in the capital, this is not war justification but it is a kind of indiscriminate targeting of innocent civilians.” The lawmaker said.
He classified that Somali bridegroom and his wife were killed both in Sunday’s heavy shelling in Karan district on the north side of Mogadishu.
“The report we are receiving says that a man on his wedding night was killed along with his wife in one night and also an old lady sleeping in her home in Karan district was killed.” He said that shelling civilians is not just a war against Al-Shabab.
“We can not call like this a war against Al-Shabab, but it is against the humanity.” Gedi added.
Mr. Gedi called the government to start investigation about the civilian’s casualties as he argued that the government will fail if the civilians are not taken care
At least 16 people were killed in two days long bombardment in Somalia capital of Mogadishu where the Islamist rebels are confronting government forces and African Union peace keepers.
The shelling started on Sunday after Somalia federal government forces with the backing of AMISOM launched fresh battle to move back Al-Shabab fighters from the north portion of the capital. Eye witnesses told RBC Radio that the shelling persisted until on Monday.
