| Somalia schools reopen after violence |
| 2007-05-08 |
| (SomaliNet) Amid Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia's recovery from two weeks of street fighting many public schools reopened on Saturday after the Ethiopian backed interim government ran over the local insurgents a week ago. Very few students in their uniforms could be seen this morning going back to their shattered schools as most of the pupils are still away from the capital while some of them fled the country for good. MogadishuÂ’s schools were closed for more than a month due to the fighting that stopped early this month as Somali troops backed by their Ethiopian allied forces gained the upper hand over the Islamic insurgents. Many institutes and universities in north of Mogadishu where the fiercest battle took place were badly damaged. University students have not yet begun returning to their classes. |
