Somalia

At least 10 people, including Ethiopian soldiers, Shabaab fighters, and civilians, were killed in fighting in southern Somalia after Ethiopian convoys were ambushed. Two Shabaab fighters and six clansmen were killed in clashes in Bakool. The Islamic Courts claimed it mediated between two warring clans in central Somalia. Ethiopia’s senior general and intelligence officer in Somalia were relieved of their commands.
