“A child picked up an unexploded bomb somewhere near the camp and brought it among a group of IDPs resting under the shade of a tree and started playing with it. It went off and injured 18 people. On her way to hospital, [the] child died from her wounds,” said Khalif Mohamed Ali, the police chief of Sool region.
Nel territorio del Sool (Sol) in località Ari Adeye, un bambino raccoglie un ordigno inesploso, non ci pensa due volte e con la bomba tra le mani si avvia tra i suoi amici, tutti riuniti al riparo di un grande albero. I piccoli di età compresa tra i 5 e 10 anni iniziano a giocare con l’ordigno che infine esplode causando la morte di un bambino e il ferimento di altre 17.

Somalia has been convulsed by two decades of conflict and many times children have been killed, blinded, crippled – or inadvertently caused the death of their friends – while playing with unexploded ordnance or munitions left behind on the battlefield by parties to the conflict.
