Somali, Ethiopian troops reach Goobo to 'solve' tribal conflicts
2007-01-21
Mogadishu 20, Jan.07 ( Sh.M.Network) A large number of Ethiopian and government troops have gone to Goobo, a settlement in central Somalia where tribal militias fought last week.

The troops accompanied by armored vehicles reached the settlement on late Friday afternoon to arbitrate the tribes in the area and position government forces in Dhusomareeb and GuruÂ’el in Galgaudud province, central Somalia. The government said it intended to avert another tribal bloodshed in central Somalia.
By ensuring that they'll be the only ones who cause any blood shedding.
Witnesses have told Shabelle by phone on Saturday that Ethiopian and government troops could be seen patrolling the settlement where the tribes skirmished days ago. More than 10 people have died in the fight since it began a week ago.

The tribal elders in the area were planning to meet today to resolve and finalize the feuds and conflicts between the two tribes.
