SOMALIA: Families displaced after homes destroyed
“They [Mogadishu officials] have destroyed our homes by force and we have no place to go,” Fadumo Omar said. She said the affected area, Loyado in Abdiaziz district of north Mogadishu, was home to 450 families.
Omar, who is more than 60 years old, said she had lived in Loyado for over 40 years. “I had 13 children and the children have had their children here. Now all of a sudden they destroyed my home and displaced me.”
