This report is the first independent, on-the-ground investigation of the fighting that wracked Mogadishu in March and April 2007, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians and the displacement of 400,000 people. The warring parties have all shown criminal disregard for the well-being of the civilian population of Mogadishu, said Ken Roth, executive director for Human Rights Watch. The UN Security Councils indifference to this crisis has only added to the tragedy.
