Somalia Bomb Attacks Kill at least 17 people, including spy official
|
[Garowe] At least 17 people were on Tuesday killed in two separate incidents within Somalia as the country anxiously waited for maritime border dispute judgment by the International Court of Justice [ICJ] at The Hague, in which Somalia emerged victoriously.
In the first incident, according to al-Shabaab
 ...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them...
at least 12 security officers were killed in Deynile district, north of Mogadishu after a kaboom hit their vehicle, also leading to multiple injuries. The officers, reports indicate, were on regular patrols of the area at the time of the incident.
Those killed are mainly from the Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency [NISA], which is trying to expand operations within the country after al-Shabaab intensified attacks.
The bombing comes amid uncertainty over the future of African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
Mission Forces [AMISOM]. There are questions whether AMISOM should be reconfigured or form a joint mission with the UN.
There are ongoing military operations in Lower Shabelle, a major al-Shabaab stronghold but the union forces have often tried to liberate several strategic towns from the hard boys. Through their affiliate media websites, the al-Shabaab forces of Evil grabbed credit for the attack.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the entire 614th quadrant searched. The Green Lensman must be found!...
a jacket wallah killed five civilians and injured 6 in a teashop in Mogadishu. The incident took place at Fagah intersection in Mogadishu shortly after the ICJ decision came out on Tuesday afternoon, reports indicate.
While it's not clear if the matter is related to the ICJ judgment, al-Shabaab forces of Evil who grabbed credit, have previously accused Kenya of "grabbing" the Indian Ocean coastline and even threatened to attack authorities in Kenya.
The forces of Evil have been waging attacks against security forces, senior government officials, and at times innocent civilians. It's the security forces both foreign and SNA who have borne the brunt of al-Shabaab attacks in Somalia and across the border.
The two attacks come at the time Somalia rejected a proposal by the African Union Peace Committee to have a hybrid mission activated in Somalia. Under the arrangement, the mission between the UN and AU would see the deployment of more troops to Somalia.
Instead, Mogadishu wants the African Union to rescind the proposal and focus on the full implementation of the Somali Transition Plan [STP]. Once implemented, the plan would see Somali National Army take over security responsibilities in the country by 2023.
