MOGADISHU – Al-shabab fighters have Friday warned the transitional government troops of a checkpoint at Ex-control Afgoi in the Somali capital Mogadishu for forcing the women to remove their coverings as traveling on the street.

The spokesman of Al-shabab fighters Sheik Abdiazisz Abu Mus’ab told reporters that they would never accept the acts of the government troops adding that they continued taking of the coverings of the women.

He threatened they would target the officers of the soldiers at their houses in Mogadishu reiterating they knew their houses and had more information from them.

Ex-control, an important junction that connects the main streets of the Somali capital Mogadishu and regions in Somalia is controlled by the Somali government troops.

The spokesman accused the soldiers for committing intimidations against the women traveling on the street. The statement comes days after Al-shabab officials vowed they would revenge for the Somali civilians massacred in the capital.

  1. The title has a typo from its author and source. It probably is more like "Al-shabab warns government troops (about) remov(ing) women's coverings" or "Al-shabab warns government troops (against) remov(ing) women's coverings".
