Ninty three Somali civilians suffer from bullet wounds after Ethiopian [Woyanne] forces opened fire on passenger bus.
MOGADISHU – Six more Somali civilians died Tuesday after being seriously wounded when Woyanne forces opened fire on a passenger bus the previous day, medical officials said.
The soldiers had fired on the bus suspecting it was ferrying insurgents.
“So far six people have died since last night of critical injuries they suffered yesterday,” said Dahir Dhere, the director of Mogadishu’s Medina hospital. “We have 93 more injuries in (the) hospital. All of them have bullet wounds.”
The latest fatalities raise the death toll from the bus attack to 12.
The shooting erupted after a Somali soldier manning a road block accidentally fired a rocket, narrowly missing the bus and prompting the Woyanne troops who were nearby to open fire.
Meanwhile, unknown assailants attacked a Woyanne billet north of Mogadishu, but there were no reports of casualties, witnesses said.
“We have heard more than eight rounds of mortar shells fired near (the base). We are very near to the site but luckily no civilians were harmed,” resident Nuradin Ali Hassan said.

Woyanne curses and criticizes the Hawzein incidence till this day. What they are doing to the Somali people now will enslave will be in the minds of somalis forever. The fall of Weyanne-Tigray will be catastrophic. The regims backers should think before the impending revenge from all the people of the horn

I suspect TPLF is sensing that it is losing power so it is instigating the Somalis to rise up.After TPLF lose power, they hope that the central people or the government left behind will be fighting the armed organized Somalis.This would give TPLF respite enough time to organize themselves in Tigray province.
While they will be organizing themeselves in the north, the central regions will be in chaos, they hope.
This is only a suspicion.
