The national security committee succeeded on Thursday to remove some of the main unlawful checkpoints in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia set up by the government troops after 48 hours deadline, officials said - this is part of settling down the security in the war-ravaged capital.
 
Spokesman of the government policemen Abdulahi Hassan Barise said in a press conference held in Mogadishu this morning that key road blocks in and outside of the capital were cleared where the government troops used to take illegal money from the public buses.
 
The NSC deployed Islamic forces in the checkpoints to replace the government troops to keep the security.
 
“we will continue the work of removing all the road blocks in the capital in the coming days from all corners in the city to end the people’s complaints,” said Barise.
 
The bus drivers in the capital said today they will start stop working in the public service if the government don’t prevent the robbery acts on the passengers by some of its troops on the streets.
