| Somali town captured |
| 2002-08-01 |
| Anarchy continues in Somalia. As long as it's not al-Qaeda anarchy I don't care... The southern Somali town of Baidoa is reported to have fallen to forces loyal to Colonel Hassan Mohamed Nur Shatigudud. The Ethiopian backed warlord's forces have been battling with the fighters of his former deputies in the Rahanwein Resistance Army, Sheikh Adan Madobeh and Mohamed Ibrahim Habsadeh. Hundreds of armed troops pulled out of town this morning and the fighting has now stopped. |
