There's rising anger against the African Union Mission in Somalia. Protests broke out south of Mogadishu after AMISOM forces killed four civilians travelling in a car. The dead include an 80 year old woman. AMISOM says the troops were scared and opened fire on the car when it failed to stop at a roadblock. AMISOM has thousands of peacekeepers in Somalia. Their main aim is to battle al-Shabaab militants. The group has in recent months been targeting the peacekeeping operation, with several deadly attacks. Most recently, scores of Kenyan soldiers were killed by al-Shabaab.
