Apr. 20 - Heavy fighting between Somali Islamist insurgents and Ethiopian troops is taking place in Mogadishu where at least 80 people have been killed in the last 24 hours.
The fighting was fiercest in the Islamist stronghold of northern Mogadishu. Residents said the two sides, which had reinforced positions overnight, exchanged heavy fire in the early hours of Sunday around the Save Our Souls (SOS) Hospital. The transitional government is still struggling to impose its authority on the Horn of Africa nation and flush out the insurgents who mount near-daily roadside bombings and grenade attacks in Mogadishu.
