Somali PM unhurt in stadium blast, 10 dead

Somalia: Mogadishu Stadium rocked by large explosion

Tue. May 03, 2005 08:35 am.

Somali Prime Minister Mr. Ali Geddi was in a middle of long speech in the stadium which was packed by government officials, foreign and UN delegates, and thousands of Mogadishu residents when the whole building shook and deafening sound followed. Seven people were confirmed dead and about a dozen wounded.

 

The cause of the explosion is now leaning toward accidental anti-tank missile firing although people at the scene described it as an attempt on the prime minister’s life. He left the stadium right away unharmed.

 

Whether it was an accident or deliberate attack, innocent people who came there because of their deep hunger for justice, equality and true government lost their lives today.

 

Somalia has been without central government for over a decade now. The new government was setup in Nairobi, Kenya last year and it is now trying to relocate to Somalia. A lawless country filled with all types of weapons and people who have not been governed for a long time await Mr. Geddi and his government.

Somali PM unhurt in stadium blast, 10 dead

By Mohamed Ali Bile

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed by an explosion at a soccer stadium in Somalia's capital Mogadishu where the prime minister had just addressed hundreds of supporters on Tuesday, witnesses said.

 

Prime Minister Ali Gedi escaped unhurt and talked to reporters shortly afterwards, saying he was in shock.

 

The cause of the blast, just days after Gedi's arrival in Mogadishu on a trip to mend a rift in the fledgling government, was not immediately clear.

 

Lawlessness has continued to plague Mogadishu despite the formation of President Abdullahi Yusuf's Transitional Federal Government in the relative security of neighboring Kenya last year in an attempt to end 14 years of chaos and bloodshed.

 

Seven people were killed at the stadium, one was killed by a vehicle escaping the scene and two others died on their way to hospital, witnesses said. Officials at three hospitals said they were treating a total of 35 wounded.

 

The powerful blast destroyed a wall of the stadium and witnesses said they saw lots of blood at the scene.

 

Gedi flew to Mogadishu on Friday for the first time since his appointment last year to try to end a rift in his government and shore up sagging confidence in efforts to rebuild the broken country.

 

Foreign governments and donors have put increasing pressure on the new government to return home.

 

But cabinet ministers and members of parliament are split over which city it should initially be based in -- a dispute that stems from power struggles among rival clans and regional powers vying for dominance in Somalia, diplomats say.

 

MPs aligned to Yusuf say they want to temporarily relocate to the relatively calmer cities of Baidoa and Jowhar.

 

Others insist the government should return to Mogadishu, Somalia's single most dangerous place, which the transitional constitution stipulates must serve as the capital.

 

Yusuf has asked African and Arab states to supply 7,500 troops to help disarm the militiamen roaming Mogadishu since warlords overran the Horn of Africa country in 1991, ousting military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

 

However, militant Islamists and influential warlords - some of whom are in the government - have vowed to attack troops from so-called frontline states of Kenya, Djibouti and longstanding rival Ethiopia if they are deployed.

Xagga Waxbarashada

Waxaa i farxad geliyay shalay dugsiyo iyo Jaamacado waxbarasho oo aan booqday, kuwaasoo aan caalamka laga dhaadhicin karin in ay Muqdisho ka jiri karaan, hayeeshee taasi waxay u sahleysaa dowladda Federaalka una fududeyneysaa meel ay ka bilowdo waxbarashadii dalka

Xagga Caaafimaadka

Warbixin waa la i siiyay, waxaana booqday Cusbitaalka Banaadir oo ah Saldhigga caafimaadka ee Hooyada iyo dhallaanka, xagga arrimaha Bulshada waxaan rajeynayaa in dowladdeydu ku tallaabsato daryeelka shacabka Soomaaliyeed, gaar ahaan Agoonta, Hooyooyinka, Dhallaanka iyo Dadka danta yar, taasoo aan u sameyn doono hay'ado gaar ah oo fuliya adeegyada ay u baahan yihiin dadkaasi Soomaaliyeed.

Xagga Amniga

Sida aad la socotaan Soomaaliya waxaa ka jirta nabadgelyo la'aan, dadku nabad iyo dowladnimo waa rabaan, laakin hannaan iyo abaabul hanan kara ama hoggaamiya ayaa ka maqan, waxaana u ballanqaadeysa hannaankaas dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliyeed"ayuu yiri Ra'iisal Wasaare Geedi oo ka dhawaajiyay in ay beenowday hadal henytii ahayd in aanu Muqdisho imaan karin iyo in aaney dadku dowlad rabin.

Xagga xasilinta dalka iyo ciidamo ku soo dabaalidda ayuu Ra'iisal Wasaare Geedi sheegay in ay Xukuumaddiisu go'aamisay in ciidamo Afrikaan iyo Jaamacadda Carabta isugu jira ay ka qeybqaataan, wuxuuna ujeedada ciidamadaas ay u imaanayaan Soomaaliya ku tilmaamay in ay ilaalinayaan kaliya goobaha dowladda iyo ilaha dhaqaalaha, sida garoomada, dekedaha iyo wadooyinka waa weyn, iyagoo ka talo qaadanaya ciidamo Soomaaliyeed oo hoggaan leh oo markaasina ka amar qaadan doona dowladda federaalka Soomaaliyeed iyo talis ay u dhan yihiin Dowladaha IGAD, Midowga Afrika iyo Jaamacadda Carabta oo ka qeybqaadanaya barnaamijka xasilinta Soomaaliya.

 

"Walaalayaal waxaan rajeynayaa in qorshaha Xukuumaddu uu cadyahay, dadka Soomaaliyeedna laga bixiyay tashwiishka ay geliyeen dad aan u maleynayo in aaney dowlad rabin, Soomaaliya aysan u rabin nabad, sharaf iyo heybad" ayuu yiri Prof. Geedi oo sheegay in Adduunyadu ay la dagaameysay muddooyinka dambe wax la yiraahdo argagixiso, isagoo weliba carrabka ku dhejiyay in aysan diinta islaamka iyo muslinnimadu aysan ahayn argagixisadu, hayeeshee ay jiraan dad nabad diid ah oo doonaya in uusan adduunku xasilin.

 

"Kuwaas iyaga ah waxaan ku baaqayaa in gacan adag la isaga qabto, dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliyeedna shaqadeeda ayay ka qabsan doontaa" ayuu mar kale yiri Prof. Geedi oo caddeeyay in uusan xitaa isagu aaminsaneyn in diimaha kale ee Adduunku ay argagixiso yihiin, isagoo aan si cad u qeexin waxa uu qudbaddiisa ugu soo daray ka hadalka argagixisada.

Ra'iisal Wasaaruhu wuxuu sheegay marka Umadi guul gaarto in aan la weyneynin cadaw gudaheeda ka dhasha ama dibadda uga yimaada, sidaasna uu ugu baaqayo Umadda Soomaaliyeed in ay difaacdaan mirihii ka soo baxay shirkii Kenya oo ah Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliyeed.

Very sad and disappointing. May ALLAH shower his mercy on those who killed in this non-sense. Those who said Xamar is peaceful good example. Now C/Y has one more reason to stay in Nairobi.

The cause of the explosion is now leaning toward accidental anti-tank missile firing although people at the scene described it as an attempt on the prime minister’s life. He left the stadium right away unharmed.

Was it really accidental? I am reading everywhere that a bomb (not a tank missile) went off, so how can a bomb go off without some detonating it and why anyone bring a bomb to a stadium where there are many civilians. This whole incident and the different coming out of the news outlets is fishy.
