Somali Police Open Fire on Protesters in Mogadishu, Killing Two
The protesters, residents of the Warlaaliska area in Mogadishu's Dayniile district, had gathered to oppose forced evictions and the alleged illegal demolition of their homes and property when security forces opened fire on the crowd, killing at least 2 and injuring several others.
The incident comes amid growing concerns over forced evictions in Mogadishu, where thousands of vulnerable families, have faced the loss of their homes without adequate notice or alternative accommodation.
These repeated incidents have intensified concerns about the protection of vulnerable communities, the use of state security forces in land grabbing, and the growing humanitarian consequences of forced displacement.
The killing of protesters in Dayniile raises further questions about the use of force against civilians exercising their right to peacefully protest and demand protection of their homes and property.
