Security forces have demolished several houses in Mogadishu.
The demolition was a joint exercise between Somali Police Force (SPF) and Somali National Army (SNA) officers.
Residents of Kahda said that the security officers turned up with bulldozers to destroy their houses.
It’s not clear why the demolition took place.
The residents said that nobody had warned them earlier of the impending demolition, which caught them unawares.
Consequently, the residents rendered homeless have appealed for food and water.
The demolition took place amid complaints by Mayor Omar Filish of Mogadishu to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud regarding increased land grabbing in the city.
