    NAIROBI

    Five people were reportedly killed and several injured on Monday when militiamen attacked business people in Manabolio market, north Mogadishu. The ‘Qaran’ newspaper said two of the victims were shot dead “intentionally” while others were killed by stray bullets.

    Meanwhile, the UN Country Team (UNCT) for Somalia said in a recent update that banditry continues to be a problem in Mogadishu, but less so than in previous weeks. UNCT also warned that tension remains high in Kismayo.
