TFG forces assisted by AMISOM forces started enforcing evictions of individuals occupying former public buildings in Mogadishu. A number of individuals who refused to comply with the eviction orders were arrested. During the eviction process the TFG/AMISOM forces also clashed with clan militias of the Saleban sub-clan in Ba'adlaha building area in Xamar-Weyne District. The TFG/AMISOM prevailed in the fight and arrested six of the Saleban militiamen. The building of Women's Association, former Shabelle National University, former National Library and Ba'adlaha in Xamar Weyne district andformer Dhamme Yasiin Primary School in Dharkenley district are believed to have been repossessed by the TFG. The move follows a series of announcements by the President and the Prime Minister and a decision of the TFG Cabinet to repossess Government properties. The decision was finally implemented after the Turskish Government offered funding for the rehabilitation of public buildings. The repossession exercise will affect private citizens, local clan militias and warlords and IDPs who have been occupying these buildings since the beginning of the 1990's. |
