| [SHABELLENEWS] Soldiers within Somali security force have engaged gunfire in Mogadishu on Tuesday, the latest in series of infighting in the Somali capital. The fire broke out at KM-4 junction after the troops at a security checkpoint mistaken soldiers chasing a killer for murderous Moslems, according to a witness, speaking to Radio Shabelle. "There was an exchange of gunfire between two groups within Somali army at KM-4. The shootout flared up after troops trying to arrest a killer festivities with Police in the area," he said. The area security officials later intervened in the confrontation, and the soldier who killed a civilian in Hamarweyne district was detained and taken to a Police custody for inquiry. |

| #1 I recommend the book, "The Fate of Africa" by Martin Meredith. It starts in 1954 and documents all of Africas' countries fight for freedom. The chapter I am reading now, discusses Somali and Mogadishu fighting in 1992. African nations were created by Europeans that did not take into account tribal lands. If you want to understand what's happening in Africa and the Mid-East this book is a must read! |
