Speaking with local Media, Mr Al Qadi said Kenyan military carried out air attacks against residential areas in Gedo region, killing many unarmed civilians.
“KDF jets still continue their airstrikes in Gedo province, we call on Kenyan government to minimize civilian casualties during their operations,” he said.
