Somalia

The Somali government and the Islamic Courts-backed Alliance for the Reliberation of Somalia signed a truce that will begin in 30 days and last for 90 days. Fourteen Ethiopian soldiers were killed in fighting north of Mogadishu on Sunday. Islamic Courts fighters attacked the Speaker of Parliament’s home in Baidoa; his secretary was killed.
