Several people were murdered by an attack on a downtown hotel in Mogadishu. This was caused by the clashing of Islamist insurgents and African Union-backed government forces. The death of these Mps and citizens backed up many parts of Mogadishu. This happened on August twenty fourth. One of the citizens said stated that no place in the capital was safe. She also gave information of reports of dead bodies that were scattered along the streets and that these bodies were not being collected since the fighting started occurring on the twenty third of August. She thinks that the two parties want to kill the remaining health of the city. An amazing quote from her was; “Who will they rule if we are all dead? Whoever wins will rule corpses.” One of the ambulance drivers stated that they had collected thirty four bodies and more than one hundred and thirty one injured people littered across various streets. He believes the numbers will go up considering the fact that there were streets that they haven’t even covered yet. My personal view on this is that fighting and violence is usually not for a good cause. In the bible they fought for God and to share their religion with non believers. Today we fight for oil, for money, for women, for irresponsible actions. This is why I don’t only dislike war but I mostly don’t support it. The only reason we should get in a war is to protect ourselves from offensive actions from other countries. If everyone did that then there would be no more war
