Few hours ago I posted a poem "Uganda have mercy please" but they seem to have had no mercy when (tonight, few minutes ago)they shot back culprits who attacked them on the road. More than ten people were killed and the culprits who provoked them escaped. The Ugandans have arrived yesterday as part of African Union peace keeping mission in somalia.
I pleaded with the Ugandans
Begged and beseeched them
Called them to have mercy
And not to shoot civilians
But my calls reached nowhere
Some culprits shot their trucks
And in return they opened fire
Innocents have died in shooting

Abdi-Noor, the frightened soldiers now in your country; are they not tempted to shoot first before seeing if civilians are there? The horror of war and soldiering. My prayers for you, and for the people of Somalia to find peace.
Abdinoor, a soldier is trained to kill others. His life is the most important life on earth. The troops from Uganda are very scared. They heard a lot of bad news about Somalia. They are just adding to the killing of innocent people in Somalia.
Thank you brother.
