Ugandans shell Mogadishu with heavy Artillery Killing More than 10 civilians

Reports coming out of Somalia that the capital city is under fire once again by the African troops stationed there to keep the peace and the security of the city.  On July 1st, the Ugandan army shelled the city with heavy artillery killing more than 10 civilians as they targetted densely populated areas.  It is not clear what is causing the Ugandans to sporadically aim in every direction with their artillery but their actions are causing many civilians injured.
 
Reports in somali news web sites indicate that the Ugandan soldiers are attacking the civilians with artillary and rockets and are targetting civilian areas.  According to DalkaNews.com, there are more than ten civilians killed by the shelling and many are injured and are expected to die because there are no open hospitals functioning in the city.  The number of casualties from the Ugandan troops' shelling to civilians areas of Mogadishu is expected to reach in the hundreds with the next few days. 
 
It was just last month that the United Nations made their agenda clear;  it is bring a UN peace keeping force to Somalia and is expected to put together an African force to support the Ugandans and Ethiopians.  Now that the Ugandan's are starting to become infamous, bringing more Africans to Somalia would be a difficult task to accomplish by the UN.
 
The somali people see the Ugandan's support for Ethiopian invaders an act that is common to all foreign troops further strengthening the hatred between other African nations and Somali people.  Therefore, it appears that any force from Africa would be a target for tactical attacks by the armed resistance in the country.
