More reinforcements for fresh battle by Mogadishu rival sides
Trucks owned by anti terror alliance moved from Mogadishu, capital city of Somalia and Jowhar, 90 km north of the capital to the border of Ethiopia where they are about to load military shipment offered by Ethiopia government, reliable sources told Somalinet. The Lorries will pass through districts of Hiran region before reaching Ferfer, Ethiopian border town. Sources close to the anti terror alliance in Mogadishu say the weapons were donated by Ethiopian government and are part of movements by the alliance to wage fresh fighting with Islamic militiamen.

Mogadishu’s Somalinet correspondent Mohamed Abdi says if the weapons offered by Ethiopia got into alliance’s hand, it would be in violation against the embargo imposed by the UN in 1992. Last week Islamic courts in Mogadishu were reported to have received weapons from Dhuso-Mareb of Galgadud region in central Somalia. Weapons collecting by both sides came as at least one woman has been killed in small clashes between militias of Islamic courts and anti terror alliance in Sisi area in north Mogadishu on Sunday.

There have been sporadic gunfire in the area and both sides took position from where they were and people are too much worried about another clash. Witnesses told Somalinet office in Mogadishu. Both rival sides are now getting reinforcements for possible fresh battle in the capital at any time, with people in the capital are in dreadful stage fearing more clashes to more bloodshed. This time the situation in Mogadishu will be bad to worse if fresh battles rage.
