On Saturday, there was an attack at Somali's parliament. Six people were killed and fifteen injured. Unfortunately, casualties included three school children and a solider. The rounds ended up striking a nearby school. No particular group has been claimed as the attackers. No parliament members were injured from the Mortar rounds.
A day before the attack, the Somali prime minister called for the U.N. arms embargo to be lifted. With this request the government would have the ability to fight back against the pirates and militant Islamic groups. Currently, all these groups have the same weapons. The government claims if they have the availability to more advanced weapons they will better be able to control the situation in their country.
I am not sure if the embargo being lifted will aid the government. With more weapons the situation isn't going to get better.
