Over 600 civilians killed in Somali terror attacks since January: UN official

[ShabelleMedia] At least 613 civilians have been killed and 948 injured in Somalia since January this year, a senior United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
(UN) official said Monday.

Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, decried the sharp rise in civilian casualties in Somalia, due largely to attacks by the al-Shabaab

...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
group which he said has exacerbated the already grim human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
and humanitarian situation for the people of Somalia.

"This year has brought an abrupt halt to a general decline in deaths and injuries documented since 2017. I am deeply concerned that more Somalis continue to lose their lives on a daily basis," Turk said in a statement.

According to the UN, most of the casualties have been due to improvised bombs, at least 94 percent of which were attributed to al-Shabaab. Other casualties have resulted from al-Shabaab suicide kabooms.

Turk called on all parties to the conflict to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure that civilians are protected.
