The troops are getting an especially warm welcome from the chewers of khat and dealers of the popular mild stimulant leaf; cinema owners and football fans.

 

Thank you for confirming it for us! Now we know who their supporters were, tuug supporting another tuug, a drug dealer and a crack-head. Yep they all came out to support them. :rolleyes:

 

 

But the incident triggered a full-scale demonstration when more than 2,000 people took to the street burning tyres and throwing stones at cars.

A lot of work must have been done ahead of time to get any capital city to welcome Federalists.

In 1991 in Ethiopia Meles and co. were not well received and still the city is opposition city.

 

Capital cities lose their power and influence in Federal system. Mugadishu can see this from Addis Ababa or any Federal country. Canada, India, Germany (bon time especially).

 

It seems TFG had a lot of ground work done already to get such a good reception.
