Brief fighting flares up in Mogadishu
2007-04-14
(SomaliNet) Short battle involving heavy weaponry has renewed in the Somalia capital Mogadishu between the Ethiopian forces and the local insurgents late Friday – as peace efforts continue to ease the tension in the city.

The latest gun battle is shattering the fragile ceasefire already reached by the Hawiye clan leaders and the Ethiopian military officials. It is not yet clear who in fact started the fighting.
Aethiops will prob'ly end it, however.
The new fighting which lasted 30 minutes began around 7:32pm tonight local time near the former defense ministry compound where based by the Ethiopian forces. There is no immediate casualty report on the latest clashes but sources confirmed to Somalinet that a camp next to the Ethiopian base caught fire.
