MOGADISHU (Mareeg) — At least one person has been reportedly wounded and more than fifty people have been taken to jails in Baidoa by al-Shabab after angry protestors took to the streets of the town on Wednesday.
Al-Shabab administration in Baidoa banned Khat, a popular stimulant chewed across east Africa on Tuesday to be sold inside the town. They have also banned vehicles with tinted windows except for Al Shabaab officials.
The demonstrators, mostly traders of the Khat, blocked the streets of Baidoa and were throwing stones to al-Shabab individuals and the cars that were using the streets of the town for hours before they were dispersed with gunfire by al-Shabab fighters.
Al-Shabab officials declined to talk about the incident. Baidoa and other major towns in south Somalia are under the control of al-Shabab Islamists.
