Officials in Somalia have confirmed that a cargo plane carrying 11 people aiding the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia was shot down by a missile Friday, killing everyone aboard.
The Russian-built cargo plane was attacked shortly after taking off from the airport near Mogadishu. Officials say 10 crewmembers were killed instantly, while one died at a nearby hospital.
The plane had delivered crew and equipment to Mogadishu to repair another plane that had been seriously damaged in an earlier missile attack.
According to Reuters, Belarus said on Saturday a missile caused a plane crash in Mogadishu that killed 11 of its citizens, while the Somali government said the incident looked more like an accident than an attack by ever bolder insurgents.
It can be seen that the declarations made by the Somalia's goverment is a weak attemp to show a chimerical situation of peace in Somalia. If Somalia would be in peace, the investors may make theirs investments in this country, situation that can make the country grow and can the people improve their wellfare. Is by the previous reason that the goverment is trying to show a peacefull situation in Somalia.
