Pro government demo held in Mogadishu
Thousands of the residents in Somali capital Mogadishu have come out today in large numbers to show their support to government forces battling Al Shabaab.
The residents who waved Somali flag and anti Al Shabaab placards denounced the group activities while throwing their weight behind the ongoing Indian Ocean operation by Somali national army and AMISOM forces against Al Qaida linked group.
The is part of series of protests organized by Benadir administration for past months in support for government against Al Shabaab militant group insurgency since driven out of the capital two years ago.
Unlike before, pro government demonstrators are becoming very common particularly in the capital Mogadishu while denouncing Al Shabaab activities unlike before where those who openly showed their support for the government were afraid of attacks from Al Shabaab militants.
There is sence of security in most parts of Somalia since African union troops and government forces pushed Al Shabaab out of several key areas in south and central Somalia since 2012
