Mogadishu blast kills 3 as top UN official visits
The United Nations' top aid official urged Abdullahi Yusuf, the Somali president, to allow relief supplies to reach his people, during a visit to Mogadishu, the Somali capital, today that was disrupted by a deadly blast. Somali security source said an explosive device planted in car killed three people near the UN compound in Mogadishu shortly after John Holmes, a UN emergency relief coordinator, landed delaying his tour of the shell-shattered city.
The source said the attack targeted a senior intelligence official and not Holmes, the highest ranking UN official to visit Somalia since recent clashes killed at least 1 300 people and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. But a second blast may have been related to the trip, a spokesperson for an African Union force said.
"They want to make a point that even when a guest is around we can still set off bombs,” said Paddy Ankunda from the African Union. There has been relative calm in the capital since the interim government and its Ethiopian military allies declared victory over insurgents two weeks ago, in a move that has encouraged small numbers of Somalis to return home.
Plight of civilians
But residents still fear that the insurgents - a mix of Islamist fighters and disgruntled clansmen - may be regrouping to resist a government that they see as propped up by Ethiopia and biased against Mogadishu's dominant Hawiye clan. The UN has accused all sides of breaking humanitarian law by indiscriminately firing on civilian areas in Mogadishu.
"While the fighting was going on we were very concerned about the plight of civilians. Clearly, it was not the normal respect for humanitarian law," Holmes told Yusuf. But the Somali president defended his government's offensive to crush an insurgency that flared after allied Somali-Ethiopian forces ousted rival Islamist leaders from Mogadishu in January. "Unfortunately these terrorists are conducting guerrilla warfare. Now they have been defeated twice," Yusuf said.
"Many of these insurgents fled but they left a group of terrorists in the city ... We are very sorry, but we have to pacify this country forever," he said. -
