16 - May: Bomb Explodes As Ugandan Troops Pass By


Shabelle Media Network (Mogadishu):

A bomb explosion could be heard in part of Mogadishu on Wednesday morning. The explosion evidently was targeted at a convoy of Ugandan forces passing by the main of Hamaraweyne neighborhood at the center of the Somali capital Mogadishu.
Hamaraweyne district commissioner, Ibrahim Saahal, told Shabelle that the explosion occurred near former Finance Ministry where the AU troops onboard their military trucks were passing by. "Well, it is hard to know casualties because the whole area was sealed off by the soldiers," he said.

AU troops in Somalia have been busy de-mining Mogadishu lately as they seemed to gain confidence from the population in Mogadishu. They have never been targeted until Wednesday morning.
The big control of the revel forces on the capital, Mogadishu, is a show of the vulnerability of the goverment. It is shown in these type of terrorist atakcs. The uncapability of the government to control the country, gives a social and economic unstability that makes no one investor whants invest in Somalia.
