"Both al-Shabaab and the peacekeepers are conducting attacks with little regard for the safety of the civilian population," Peligal said. "Those responsible for indiscriminate shelling should be prosecuted for war crimes."Failure to Warn CiviliansThe laws of war require warring parties to take constant care to spare the civilian population, and give effective, advance warning of Elsa Peretti Open Heart bracelet that may affect the civilian population, unless circumstances do not permit. Neither side in Mogadishu has provided sufficient warnings to civilians in areas affected by planned offensives, Human Rights Watch said.Witnesses in areas under government control said that neither the transitional government nor the peacekeepers have ever distributed information to civilians about imminent fighting and the necessity to leave.

Human Rights Watch received conflicting reports about al-Shabaab's conduct. In some cases, people told Human Rights Watch that al-Shabaab disseminated flyers and made some limited public announcement using megaphones to tell civilians to leave certain areas. But in other cases, residents said al-Shabaab fighters stopped them from leaving areas where heavy Elsa Peretti Double Open Heart bangle was taking place.Targeted Killings in Areas Under al-Shabaab ControlWitnesses and family members of victims described targeted killings by alleged al-Shabaab members in areas under the control of transitional government employees and their relatives, or people suspected to have connections with the government.A 25-year-old mother of two from Tiffany Somerset Bangle told Human Rights Watch that her father and two brothers were killed by al-Shabaab:

Anybody related to the TFG, even indirectly, is targeted with all of his family. My father was a police officer. When [al-Shabaab] took over the area, they were asking people in the neighborhood who was a TFG member. And the neighbors spied on us. They came masked; you couldn't even know who was shooting. My father was coming back to the house for dinner; they shot him in the chest. He was in his police uniform. One of my brothers ran toward him, and they shot him dead. Another brother was killed later, after two months. Elsa Peretti Open center cuff was beheaded. After his killing, we all ran away.Under the laws of war, police normally have the status of civilians. However, police units that take part in military operations or otherwise engage in military functions may be targeted as combatants. Individual police officers may only be targeted when they are taking a direct part in the hostilities. Everyone in custody must be treated humanely.
