Aethiopian reinforcements heading to Mog
 (SomaliNet) Hundreds of additional Ethiopian forces who crossed from the border have reached near Beledweine city, the provincial capital of Hiran region in central Somalia heading to Mogadishu to reinforce their colleagues fighting the local insurgents for the third day. Other Ethiopian reinforcement troops are reported to have reached Afgoie town, 30km south of the capital joining the war with what they called the remnants of the ousted Islamists. Meanwhile, the Ethiopian forces stationing around El-Irfid settlement in northern outskirt of the Somalia capital are reported to have deserted there heading to Afgoie town, 30km south of the city to reinforce the Ethiopian soldiers fighting the insurgents. Witnesses told Somalinet that the Ethiopian soldiers moved out of the compound mid last night. Short after the Ethiopian shift, the traffic on the road to Balad town which has been blocked over the past week resumed. But there were fears over that the Ethiopian forces might leave mines on the ground. Posted by: Steve White 2007-04-02 |
