Mogadishu — The regional administration of Benadir under the transitional federal government on Wednesday banned holding meetings in Mogadishu hotels unless the government has permitted.
The secretary of Benadir regional administration, Abdikafi Hilowle Osman said in an exclusive interview with Shabelle that political-related meetings can’t be held in Mogadishu hotels without government’s authorization.
Mr. Osman sent warning message to the owners and administrative individuals, saying that they must not accept their hotels to be a political arena.
He said the main reasons were the security and the existence armed oppositions who can target the hotels during the gatherings.
Insecurity activities increased in the Somali government controlled districts and neighborhoods in the capital for past few days.
