Te first batch of peacekeepers have arrived in Mogadishu from Uganda. Many more are expected to come from several other African countries within the coming weeks.

Mired in tribalism Drowned in anarchy Suffocated in war Somalia is thawing Gasping for a breath To bid us farewell And to exit in chaos Uganda have mercy please You are a sister of Somalia You stepped to help a sister To save your bleeding sister To help TFG quell violence You are a sister of difference Your name is sister Uganda Uganda peacekeepers please Please don�t lump us together We are innocent and an unarmed We are poor and displaced people We are Somali women and children We are living in obliterated camps We are students in their classes We are people in the market place Struggling for our daily survival Eking for a bread to live a day Or facing unbearable challenges To find a bed for the night Shoot only those who provoke you Shoot not us indiscriminately Boys Find a better solution instead Find out those behind the attacks Write history with the ink of peace To let the words shine like a sun Write it not with the blood of the innocent To create a future of conflict and revenge

Abdi-Noor that you are still writing for and to us gives me hope. Pray to God that your people will come out from this horrible testing time more determined than ever to live and give out in peace.

God bless you, my brother. Fergus

Thanks for creating awareness. The Ugandan troops should heed your call.

Uganda, have mercy please
Shoot us not indiscriminately
Find a better solution instead
Find out who is behind the attacks
Write history with an ink of peace
Write it not with the blood of the innocent .

Great instructions for them.
