Somalia

African Union peacekeepers from Burundi have begun to occupy a base recently vacated by Ethiopian forces; Shabaab immediately attacked the base. Three people have been killed during fighting in Mogadishu. Pirates seized a Saudi-owned oil supertanker off the coast of Kenya; the pirates are moving the ship to Eyl.
