(SomaliNet) The Mayor of Mogadishu, the Somalia capital Mohamed Omar Habeb better known as Mohamed Dhere vowed on Wednesday to act quickly on the escalation of violence in the capital as killings, ambush attacks, bombings, and robbing are rampant for the last three weeks.
Speaking to the reporters after having talks with Mogadishu district commissioners, Mohamed Dhere said his authority will immediately bring effective change to the situation in the city launching daily security operations.
we will not give a second chance to the plotters hiding in the capital to carry out their missions... we are trying to hold the city in hard fist and we will find those responsible for the bombings and killings, said Mohamed Dhere giving condolence to families of all government officials killed by what he called 'the desperate remnants' of the defeated Islamists.
Mohamed Dhere, former warlord confirmed that the forces have already taken control of the security in Mogadishu replacing the military forces on 15 May.
We have installed several checkpoints inside and outside of the capital to keep an eye on the activities of the peace killers, the police will try to find those who plant the bombs and carry out the killings against the government officials... we are still pursuing them, added Dhere.
He promised that the military forces will be withdrawn from the capital within 48 hours after receiving many complaints from the local residents over looting and robbing.
we will take every path to crush all sources of the Islamist remnants which I do believe are hiding in the capital, we will simply take them out, said the mayor
Mohamed Dhere, who was known for his past security role in Jowhar Township as he was the ruler of middle Shabele region many years ago, now seeking ways to crack down the insurgency in the capital. Mogadishu violence is attributed as a result of the drive out of the Islamic Courts who controlled much of southern and central Somalia for six months.
