SOMALIA CASUALTIES OF WAR.

Somalia's new administration says it will continue with its national stabilization plan despite intensified attacks by hard-line Islamic insurgents, including al-Shabab. This comes after government forces drove out insurgents from two districts of the capital, Mogadishu, Tuesday during a day of heavy fighting
Insurgents have been controlling some sections of the capital, but the new administration says it is determined to take back those areas.

Somali government spokesman Abdi Kadir Walayo told VOA that the administration's plan to restore peace and stability is on course.
"Last night there was some armed confrontation between the government force and the opposition. And it happened in two residential areas, the eastern and northern parts of Mogadishu. The government forces repulsed the opposition armed groups," Walayo said.
He said President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed's government will continue with its stabilization plan.
"The government has worked out a national stabilization and security plan, and in accordance with that plan, it plans to totally free the whole of Somalia from the opposition stronghold," he said.
Walayo said the government is mandated to protect the lives of Somali citizens.
"In accordance with that plan, the government is duty-bound to get rid of the menace of the opposition armed groups," Walayo said.
He said the government would gradually take over control over the capital, Mogadishu and the entire country.
"The government is planning to make counteroffensive on a step by step approach to minimize the casualties of the civilian population. And now there is plan to be implemented to restore peace and order, not only in Mogadishu but throughout Somalia," he said.
Walayo said the new Somali administration is enjoying support from the international community who back the government to succeed after at least 18 years without an effective government.
"The government has the support of the international community, and I believe that that assistance is forthcoming. And I'm sure that we will get support from the international community which expresses total support to the Transitional Federal Government," Walayo said.

wait a second, hasn't the civil war been going on for 18 years? I think racism/tribalism is what continued this war and not different groups fighting for diin.

True it has, Even before the beginning of the war, there have been significant assertions and accusations of the use of disinformation and propaganda tactics by various parties to shape the causes and course of the conflict

I'm about to have a nerves break down and I feel the saddest woman on earth.

I don't think I can take this any longer because we are allowing this to happen. I say this because not many of us care about what's happening to our people and yet, we sit and point fingers at each other all day long. If this were a video about QABIL, you would have had thousands of Somalis responding and fighting each other and look at this very important video and what do you see? Nothing.

Subhanallah, al Shabab not doing this. Dont be brainwashed by the kufar. U a muslim, u have to live by the Sharia, the law of Quran and Sunnah, not by Sharif and his Ethiopian and Americans decided how the muslims live. During the Islamic rule in 2006, there was no bloodshed, peace and stability. No man made laws or so called govt is better than what Allah has prescribed. The traitors of the ummah are the ones calling the kufr soldiers in Somalia to destroy the people and the deen. Wake up Ahki

No tongue can describe, nor pen write what. I have seen since civil wars erupted in Somalia " Waa Afka Juuqda Gabay"

My personal islamic advice,

You have to always remember Allah Almighty knows your agony, and He knows that you are sincere. You must stay together and never lose faith, and you must always be patient and seek Allah Almighty in Prayer (whether during the five-daily prayers or in wishing and asking):
