The Somali Displaced People in Mogadishu Cry to the Sky!Thousands of Somali displaced people (IDPs) are facing dangers while the fighting between the armed groups escalated this week. The fighting commenced requires urgent international solution to the humanitarian crises in the country.
The Crisis Group suggests tracking the routes of the arms and calls to help the Somalis negotiate peace with all the groups involved in the crises. Shocked by the loss of civilian lives during the fighting in Mogadishu last week, the High Commissioner of refugees, Antonio Guterres called for more international attention to help the Somali displaced people who are described by the international humanitarian figure as "needy and vulnerable population in Somalia". The UNHCR describes Somalia as "one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today with half the population in urgent need of humanitarian assistance." The numbers of the interiorly displaced Somalis reached 1.4 million (IDPs). The numbers of Somali refugees reached 570,000 people in the region. Meanwhile, the continued fighting and general insecurity make it difficult for aid agencies to access and assist the interior Somali displaced people (IDPs). Thousands of civilians have fled Mogadishu, while many others stay trapped there, "displaced and without any means to leave the beleaguered city," to be safe from the waves of violence between government forces and the Al-Shabaab militia. UNHCR spokesperson, Melissa Fleming said on 16 April in Geneva that more than 30 people are reported killed. Many of those Somalis are civilians including children. The UNHCR has information from local sources to "understand that medical facilities are having difficulties coping with the many wounded. Residents have described the last week's shelling as among the worst in months." Melissa explained. The UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Angelina Jolie appealed for the safety of civilians in Mogadishu. She met Somali refugees last September in northeast Kenya. Watch the video at Somali Refugees. "I appeal to those who carry on fighting not to shell and target civilian neighbourhoods." Jolie also said in a statement released by the UN refugee agency, "I am deeply troubled by the complete and utter disregard for human life in Somalia," explaining that "another tragedy is unfolding in Somalia as street battles rage on in Mogadishu, causing incredible suffering, massive displacement and loss of life." According to the UNHCR report, this latest violence has resulted in adding more 500 Somali displaced people to the mentioned numbers. The numbers of interiorly Somali displaced people in the capital Mogadishu this year are more than 100,000 people, "with most having fled to the relative safety of IDP camps in the Afgooye corridor some 30 kilometres west of the capital."
