Somalia: Islamist Fighters Seize Central Town
Reports from Beledweyne town the provincial capital of Hiran region say that armed with armoured and machine guns fighters have wrestled the control of the town Saturday morning after the Ethiopian troops pulled out the city and its surrounding areas according to the residents.

In their initial arrival the fighters have expanded into the different sides of the town. It's yet unknown where the provincial officials of the region went.
Somewhere safe outside of Somalia, I'm guessing ...
