Somalia Police Commissioner Despairs of Country's Security‏

The Federal Somalia Police Commissioner, Major-General Abdi Hassan Mohamed ‘Hijar', today, painted a gloomy picture of Somalia gaining on on its enemies, ominously predicting that that security would only get worse if the whole country was not mobilized to counteract growing insecurity issues.

The Commissioner, in the wake of accelerated targeted killings in the city, bombings and the planned vandalism of security cameras in and around main avenues and government institutions, stated that the situation was fast getting out of hand.

"National security is under heavy invasion. It is being relentlessly pummelled and compromised. Threats come from all sides - air and land. Security cameras installed on main avenues are blasted out of service. Engineers rebuilding roads are targeted and bombed," he stated.

Commissioner Hijar insisted that there was a concerted plan behind the worsening situation, although he did not say by whom.
