| 2013-09-21 |
| [Shabelle] civilians in Kismayu the capital of the lower Juba region of Somalia complain of daily tortures, looting of property and killings conducted by the juba troops of Ahmed Madobe. A resident of Kismayu who requested his name to be with held told Shabelle radio that they forwarded their complaints to the top administrative officials but nothing was done to cap the problems. "The troops are acting like hungry militias, they loot our property and at the same time beat us, the local administration {juba} is just watching us suffer" said the resident. Residents are calling for human right watch groups and the federal government to intervene as the Juba administration did little to solve the problems spearheaded by its own troops. The complaints come at a time when the Juba troops recently killed a famous elder in the city of Kismayu. |
