2007-07-15
(SomaliNet) Three foreign teachers have been arrested in Mogadishu today in connection with what the government called ‘terror groups’ after the security forces in the transitional federal government stormed an educational institute of SIMAD on the main industry road in north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu.
Wanna bet they weren't three Lutherans at the American school in Mog?
Yusuf Moalim, among principals of the institute told Somalinet that heavily armed soldiers raided the school this morning extracting two Ugandans and one Kenyan who were in their class periods. “The soldiers came and informed us that they were going to search for weapons, they entered all the rooms in the school but we were shocked when the soldiers took three of our foreign teachers,” said Moalim.

Local colleges, institutes and universities in Mogadishu have always hired outside teachers, but most of the foreigners left the country during and after of the Ethiopian led massive military offensive that ended the six-month rule of Somalia's Islamic Courts Union and installed the interim government in Mogadishu.
