The Secretary-General is deeply concerned at recent reports of increasing violence in Mogadishu, which has caused the deaths of over a hundred people and the displacement of thousands of non-combatants.
The Secretary-General calls on the warring factions to cease fire immediately. He also urges all parties to support the Transitional Federal Institutions in their effort to implement the Transitional Charter.
