| Road blocks in Kismayu. |
| 2013-04-08 |
| [Shabelle] there are reports coming from Kismayu, the capital city of the juba regions that road barriers have been put along the roads in the entire city. The city is being administrated by members of the Raskamboni brigade. Eye witness who refused to reveal his identity because of security reasons told Shabelle media that money was being collected at the road blocks from vehicles and business men who are in the city. It is confirmed that the Raskamboni administration have imposed the rules on the civilians around the region. This has created fear among the civilians and motorist operating in the city as there is no correct formula of collecting money. The civilians said that the road blocks were new to the city and the administration did not announce such activities to be conducted. The barriers have officially started operating in the region. Shabelle media tried to contact the transitional administration but it was not possible. Other reports from Kismayu say that unknown gunnies robbed business premises in the city and took away unknown amount of money and property. The men are said to be six heavily gunnies and no one challenged them. Until now the officials of the Raskamboni grouped have not released a statement about the incidents. |
