Widows and orphans of former SNM fighters staged a demonstration in front of the Ministry of Defense near the former Pepsi Cola factory in Ahmed Dhagah District in Hargeisa on 08/03. The demonstration was triggered by rumors about plans by the government to stop paying pensions to some SNM widows/orphans. The protestors dispersed peacefully at 11:30. Another group of protestors marched in front of the Presidential Palace on 07/03 to protest about the same issue. The Presidential Spokesman promised to submit their grievances to the president. |
