Woyanne soldiers gun down Somali civilians

February 14th, 2008 |

(Press TV) More than ten people have been killed across Mogadishu as the city walks on the verge a new fighting between rebels and Ethiopian Woyanne forces.

Press TV Somalia correspondent in Mogadishu said three civilians were targeted by Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers who did not allow medics to remove the dead bodies from the scene.

The Ethiopian Woyanne forces also opened fire on three passersby elsewhere as they were walking in an industrial street in the south of the capital.

Eyewitnesses said two more civilians were shot dead by Somali soldiers in Medina district in southern Mogadishu.

Government officer Abubakr Abdullahi Osman, a member of Yakhshiid district local government office, was also shot down near his house and two other people were killed by unknown gunmen.

Meanwhile, hundreds of heavily-armed Ethiopian Woyanne troops were heading for Helliwa district in north Mogadishu in what seems to be the biggest military movement in the region.

Insurgent forces armed with mortars and bazookas were also heading toward the same spot to face the foreign forces in a fighting that might break out any moment.
