Bakara traders convene on the special security forces of the market issue.

Somali trader’s board is convening today on the newly established special security forces for the main Bakara market proposed to provide the security of the market.

Sources close to the meeting say that the agenda of the gathering would be how the Special Forces can provide the security of the troubled main bazaar.

It’s yet unknown the other bona fide meeting’s agendas.

Wearing special uniform forces established by the traders could be seen in the market on Saturday those proposed to guard the security of somalia’s main Bakara market.

This comes as Mogadishu’s Bakara market remains a major war zone

Grenade attacks and occasional landmine explosions have characterised life in Bakara market, the biggest trading centre not only in Mogadishu but also in whole of Somalia.

The strategic Howl-wadaag junction that lies to the east of the marketplace has experienced the worst mayhem, civilian casualties competing with those of combatants.

While the forces of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the supporting Ethiopian troops have been the target, the densely populated neighbourhood absorbed the brunt of the pandemonium. In the last couple of days, things have slid from bad to worse.

Armed with light arms and explosives, insurgents attack the forces of the TFG keeping surveillance around the Bakara market. The casualties are in most cases enormous, the TFG forces overpowered with losses of lives and properties.
