16 killed in shootout between Somali army, police

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Fighting between Somali government troops and police killed 16 people in Somalia's capital on Monday, witnesses said, underscoring the weak U.N.-backed government's inability to control its armed forces.

 

The fighting began when police executed a plainclothes soldier they suspected of being an Islamist insurgent, police officer Ahmed Nur said. The soldier's colleagues arrived at the scene of the shooting in Benadir market and began attacking the police, he said.

 

An Associated Press reporter saw 16 bodies at Medina hospital in Mogadishu. Some of the victims were wearing uniforms. Three of the victims were women. Hospital director Mohamed Yusuf said 30 people were wounded.

 

Cleaners tried to mop up blood from the floor as women screamed outside the hospital. Hundreds of people gathered by the gates, seeking their wounded or dead.

 

"My husband was killed," wept Hasno Ali. "He was just a businessman."

 

The killings underscore the lack of discipline and command of Somalia's armed forces after 20 years of civil war. There have been several shoot-outs between police and soldiers in recent years and analysts say the Somali armed forces are more like a collection of militiamen than a well-trained, disciplined national force.

 

Desertion over lack of pay has been a major problem, impeding the government's ability to fight an al-Qaida linked Islamist insurgency.

 

Islamist suicide bombers have worn military uniforms before in some of its attacks — a common tactic in conflicts throughout the world — one reason why the police may have been overly suspicious.

 

Currently international donors led by Italy and the U.S. are supposed to pay around 8,000 Somali soldiers. An EU-led program is halfway through training 2,000 Somali government troops but trainers say one of the biggest problems they faced has been the lack of midlevel junior officers whose duty it is to impose discipline and ensure orders are carried out.

[General Duke]

So this is the government that you are hoping to extend the term for?

Madness

[Somalina]

Haa. It wasn't a wasiir that accidently opened fire, was it now?

[General Duke]

^^^Hitler never gassed the Jews either. That does not mean he was speared of blame. The killers are paid millitia of Shairf Hotel/Fargaajo and as such they your leaders wont be spared.

[Somalina]

Hmm...your logic is flawed Dukey nukey! who should we blame for the killing of the xeer ilaaliyihi maxkamada darajada kowaad ee gobolka Mudug? Faroole? Ilka Jir? who?

Save us the bs yaa Idi...

[General Duke]

^^^Obviously the reer Mudug official was not killed by a member of his admin. The 10 civilians massacred today were killed by people on the payroll of Sharif Ahmed.

 

Unless you are saying Sharif Hotel's only army are AMISOM and thus the Somali's crazy action are nothing to do with him. Oops an AMISOM soldier kill civilians at will.

 

You know under Sharif Hotel more civilains have been maimed and killed than at any time over the last decade.

[Somalina]

Bluh bluh...Sharif this Sharif that! you sound like Farole!

 

What happened today has nothing to do with the TFG. Go blame yourself for sitting in front of the computer!

[General Duke]

^^^Nice, so you admit your Sharif has no power, and can not even change the actions of those in his payroll. They just added to the missery of the people, 10 civilians killed and your hero is able to do less than me. Yes I am behind a computer, but at least i commented on this tragedy while he could not.

[Somalina]

Nukey! fiiri, 20 years of violence and baam Sharif will rub his Sheik hands together and magically change everything...is that your logic?

 

Your uncle Amxaar is gone, get used to it. Somalia needs prayers and less calaacal from Farole and his nephew Nukey.

[General Duke]

My dear Somalina, stop the nonsense Sharif Hotel started the war with his Al Shabaab minions and then they turned on him and this later day Idi Amiin is killing and maiming reer Mogadishu. Imagine getting rewarded for incompetence and bad behaviour thats what you did for Mr Hotel..

 

Anywho more people have died under Sharif Hotel than at any time since the last 10 years, thats a fact get used to it..

[Somalina]

AUN intii dhimatey maanta (meel walba oo Soomaliya ku taal).
