Somalia: Violent demo damage properties in Mogadishu


A violent protest killed one person in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Friday after demonstrators attack government areas.

Violence broke out after armed guards opened fire on angry protesters who tried to break into a hotel called Medina in central Mogadishu, which was hosting some Somali lawmakers.

The demonstrators were so angry when one of their colleagues was shot dead by transitional federal government (TFG) forces

“The demonstration coursed the damage of burning hotel and vehicle” said an official from TFG.

The protesters chanting slogans against an accord signed in Ugandan capital , Kampala that calls for Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed to resign within 30 days

Some of the legislators run for their lives when they fear of being killed and the hotel set ablaze by the angry mob, according to witnesses.

African union mission in Somalia [AMISOM] tried to stop the fire but they faces resistant from civilian.

However, Somali legislators are expecting to table a motion in the parliament on Kampala accord issues, whether the prime Minister would resign or continue working.
