demonstration in warshiikh

[unknown1]

Hundreds of people gathered in Warsheikh town of Middle Shabelle region on Wednesday to be evidence for their support for the peace signed by the Somali government and the major opposition group, Alliance for the reliberation of Somalia.

 

The demonstrators carried placards and chanted words supporting the peace deal have marched in the town.

 

'Let Peace Reign,' read one of the boards carried by the demonstrators.

 

Some of the demonstrators, most of whom were women and children, told Shabelle that they strongly support the peace deal and cease agreement signed by the government and ARS.

 

All shops remained closed and the streets are chock-a-block of cheerful protestors supporting the deal.

 

“Peace is too close” one placard wrote

 

Like these demonstrations supporting Djibouti peace deal are infrequent, as some rebel groups rebuffed that agreement including Alshabab Islamic group and members of ARS and UIC.

 

Somalia's government has formally signed a peace deal with some opposition figures, U.N. officials said on Tuesday, but the pact initialled in June has been rejected by Some opposition groups and done little to quell violence.

 

More than 8,000 civilians have been killed and 1 million uprooted in fighting since early last year pitting President Abdullahi Yusuf's interim administration and allied Ethiopian forces against Islamist rebels.

 

His government and a faction of the opposition initialled a tentative peace agreement on June 9 at U.N.-led talks in Djibouti, and then formally signed it late on Monday.

 

"The parties agreed to continue the political dialogue between themselves and refrain from making inflammatory statements," the United Nations said in a statement.

 

"(They) strongly condemn the perpetrators as well as those who mastermind and fund violence which targets innocent people, including killings, indiscriminate shelling, looting, raping and acts of piracy."

 

The Djibouti Agreement seeks the replacement of Ethiopian troops supporting the transitional government with U.N. peacekeepers, who would also take over the duties of a small, ill-funded African Union force.

 

But disagreement over the discussions split the Eritrea-based opposition Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS) in two, with hardline exiles in Asmara joining the insurgents in denouncing the ARS officials who took part.

 

Like previous rounds of talks -- including a six-week peace conference last year in rubble-strewn Mogadishu -- the negotiations have done little to reduce bloodshed on the ground.

 

In some of the worst violence for weeks, city residents said nearly 50 people died last Friday when Ethiopian soldiers and government troops opened fire on civilians in retaliation after two roadside bombs ripped through their convoys.

 

This was denied by the Ethiopian foreign ministry.

 

"Ethiopia's military conduct follows international rules of engagement and we do not attack civilians," Wahade Belay, a ministry spokesman, told Reuters.
