Mogadishu streets locked down Police seized a car packed with explosives





Somalia’s capital Mogadishu was under security lockdown Monday, with roads closed a day after the Police seized a car packed with explosives near the office of the city’s mayor. Hundreds of security forces have been deployed on the main roads in the capital, including Jubba, Afisyoni, El-Gabta junctions and as well as areas around Mogadishu seaport.



The reason behind the closure of the roads remain yet unclear, but, this has had an effect on students and business people who live away from their workplaces.
President Mohamed who was elected 8th February last year has promised to prioritize security as his government achieved several positive goals since he assumed the office. Al-Shabaab was forced out of the capital by the AU and Somali troops in 2011 but still controls one percent of the country and carries out attacks against government and military in Mogadishu and regional towns.
