Villagers Flee Fighting in Somalia
Gunbattles between rival militias in the central region of Galgudud have killed at least 42 people, wounded another 123 and displaced hundreds of villagers, witnesses and an aid agency said Tuesday. Fighting erupted in Galinsoor on Dec. 1, resulting in 29 dead and 30 wounded in the first two days, witnesses said. It later spread to other villages and continued Sunday, reportedly leading to seven dead and six wounded. Colin McIlreavy, head of the Somalia mission for the aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres said the group's two hospitals and a clinic in the region treated 123 people wounded in six days of fighting.Posted by: Fred 2004-12-08 |
