Nuriye Ali Farah reportedly died in the explosion while other officials are in critical condition. “There was flesh and blood all over the ground,” said Mohamed Haji Ghelle who was passing nearby, Ghelle described several soldiers lying in pools of blood. However, its yet unknown the motive/group behind the blast. Somalia remains at the brink of a famine, which was made more likely by aid agencies’ cutting back on operations because at least 20 aid workers have been killed this year. Peace still looks far away. A cease-fire agreement signed in Djibouti between the government and an Islamist faction has not diminished the fighting, which seems to kill mostly civilians.
