AMISOM Force Commander, Lt. Gen. Andrew Gutti has
offered his sincere apologies to the family of a man killed in a tragic road
traffic accident today. The accident occurred in the capital, Mogadishu,
this morning. The man, named Ali Mahmoud Gobdoon, was struck by one of the
vehicles in an armoured convoy which had suffered a failure in the braking
system.
AMISOM immediately contacted the Somali Police who
collected the body. A joint investigation has been launched and witness
statements are being taken. Appropriate actions will be taken after the
investigation has been completed. The driver of the vehicle is shocked and
saddened by the incident. “We are very sorry for this tragic accident. Our
thoughts are with the family who have suffered such a great loss,” said Gen.
Gutti.
Gen. Gutti added that AMISOM takes driver training and
the maintenance of its vehicles very seriously. “Despite the difficulty of
using and maintaining such big vehicles within Mogadishu, the general standards
have been high and the number of accidents is thankfully very low. We do,
however, urge people to take care when crossing roads, and to allow the
armoured vehicles to pass so that such accidents can be avoided,” he said.
Always remember that if you are able to choose the best driving school, you will surely get the best lessons.
