Shootouts continue to be the Somali National Sport
At least nine people have been killed and dozens wounded in clashes between police and armed men in the Somali capital. Fighting erupted late Friday in the Huriwa district of southern Mogadishu and continued throughout the night. Four of the dead were said to be policemen employed by Somalia's Transitional National Government. Two of the gunmen and three civilians also died in the shootout, whose cause could not be immediately established. The fighting died down at dawn, but the area was tense. In another incident earlier on Friday, three people died when rival gunmen fought over the ownership of a stall in Bakara market, Mogadishu's main commercial centre.
Y'all just give us a holler when you're done, okay? Take your time, now. Do it right.
