The Somali National Women Association condemns the roadblocks in Mogadishu

The Somali National Women Association condemns that some of the main roads in the capital are blocked by the Somali federal government soldiers which are a major problem to the people of Mogadishu who are preparing for the eid festival in the coming days.

Asha Hassan Qaras, a member of the organization, told Goobjoog News, “that its shock and surprise even when a delivering mothers were not allowed to pass the roads.”

She said “that she met a woman who is delivering in Bajaaj after she was not allowed to pass the check points on her way to deliver in the hospitals, and the officers were asked to release her but refused just because they are fulfilling commands from their officers of not allowing anyone in any situation to cross the check points.”

The national women association blamed the federal government for insisting that the process of the roadblocks within the city is to be secure the capital in the last days of the Ramadan whcih is not helping the large population in the city and that the government has to come with another security plan to secure the security in the capital.

Asha called on President Farmajo to help the people of Mogadishu and fulfill his pledge during his campaign that the roads in Mogadishu will not be closed.
