Traditional court looses public confidence
By Ali Ismael Mohamed –Puntland
Ethopian troops in Mogadhisho capital recently clashed with the
clan militia.
After Islamic Courts left the capital Mogadisho became a battle
ground.
The
conflict began again when the Ethiopian and TNG troops ordered
the civilians and militia Groups to disarm.
More than one thousand civilians were killed and several
thousand others were injured.
About one million people fled from the capital after heavy war
that had been raging for four days at that time.
Mogadisho elders met on 12 April, talked about the fighting and
eventually appealed
for
cease fire.
The
cease fire did not hold for long,. A new conflict and violence
have restarted.
