Mogadishu, Somalia (HOL) – Ethiopian troops have killed more than 40 people this afternoon in an area near the town of Afgoye known as Arbiska. The people were civilians traveling in passenger vehicles.

 

The victims were in two passenger vehicles. The killing of these civilians appears to be intentional as Ethiopian troops continued to fire on the passengers until there was no movement (perhaps to make sure everyone in the vehicles is dead).

 

This brutal killing of civilians riding in passenger vehicles seems the worst atrocity aimed at passengers although in the past Ethiopian troops killed unarmed civilians in several occasions and at several places.

 

The number of civilians Ethiopian troops killed in the last 24 hours exceeds 50 when we include other civilians Ethiopian troops killed this morning in an area near former military camp located off the main road that links Mogadishu and Afgoye and others who were killed near Makka Al-Mukarrama street.

 

The killings of these civilians by Ethiopian troops comes at a time when this morning Ethiopian troops were targeted with explosions in the area between Mogadishu and Afgoye as well as four attacks they faced several days ago when they were traveling on the main road that links Mogadishu and Baidoa.

Ethiopian troops must withdraw from Somalia and immediately, the TFG have to find another alternative otherwise this will only keep fuelling the Somali conflict...

^Thank you my dear Nephtys, I believe you have always misundertood my postions, athough I employed the tacts of rag iska dhicin at times, and you know Somalis say 'rag iska dhicin iyo rabi kacabsi meel mawada galaan', I have always been somewhat gentler, as you have attested quite few times in our discourse in this boards...

 

Thank you again for the warm welcome...
