![]() An occasion ceremony for the hand over took place in the port town of Kismayu where government officials have participated. Weapons and ammunitions of various types were exhibited at the ceremony today. Col. Feygo, a government officer, said the government promises that the arms would not go back to the hands of the civilian population. The arms being transferred to the government were seized from the routed Islamists during the deadly skirmishes in which the Ethiopian and government troops drove the Islamic Courts Union out of Somalia late last year. |
