Hundreds of residents of K-50 Village (20km SW of Afgooye) on 08/12 staged a peaceful demonstration calling on the Somali government to liberate the region (Lower Shabelle) from al Shabaab. The demonstrators waved banners with anti-al Shabaab slogans and called on the army to continue with the operations to liberate the whole region from al Shabaab. The village's chairman said the demonstration was the first of its kind in the region since government forces backed by AMISOM took over a number of districts in the region which were under al Shabaab control last year. |
