2 Peacekeepers died in Explosion in Mogadishu

2 Ugandan peacekeepers have on Monday morning died in an Explosion along Mecca Al-Mukarama Street in Mogadishu.
“A small number of the Ugandan troops stationed along Mecca Al-Mukarama Street conduct daily security checkups along the Street, and today was not exceptional, in fact the explosion was a landmine and has occurred at around 6:00am in the morning, and was so powerful that it was heard in the entire vicinity, and instantly after the explosion there was huge smoke which has engulfed in the whole area, and after the smoke fade away I witnessed 2 of the soldiers who have died though I am not sure of the wounded number” said Musa Khalif a resident in the area where the incident occurred speaking to media.
The Ugandan peacekeepers based in the area have cordoned off the entire area for sometime, and have frozen the activities which were taking the place along the Street, but have later reopened. Yet there are no comments coming from the African Mission in Somalia regarding the explosion in which two of their boys were killed.
The Ugandan troops were the first to arrive in Somalia instantaneously after the government of Somalia led by President Abdullah Yussuf was formed in Kenya in the year 2005, and so far have lost more than 18 soldiers who most of them have died in explosions.
There are more than 4,000 troops on the ground, and mainly keeping guard at government institutions and important places such as the seaport and the airport.
