Bad decision! Somali forces decided to destroy the whole Hayat hotel to end the longest Al Shabab siege. the siege lasted for 24 hours. People might be trapped inside. I feel sorry for their families. At least 26 people were killed,mostly elders.

Today i was denied access to two places in Mogadishu by the police . I showed them my ID card. I see no change ! Journalists should be given access to government positions/hotels and everywhere to meet and get information from politicians and the people.
