[UAH] PUBLIC OUTCRY OVER ILLEGAL CHECKPOINTS- DIDN'T NRA TRAIN THESE GUYS?

Public outcry over illegal checkpoints

16 May- Source: Radio Ergo-

Transporters using the road between Lower Shabelle region and Mogadishu have started a strike in protest against the illegal checkpoints being manned by soldiers in government uniform. Drivers say they are forced to pay bribes at these checkpoints. If they refuse, the soldiers usually turn to the passengers and have often been abusive and even assaulted and sexually harassed women passengers. The checkpoints have been mounted from Siinka Deer to the Lafole locality, at a point called Shanta (the Five), and after that all the way to Afgoye, according to drivers.
