MOGADISHU, Somalia May 17 (Garowe Online) – Heavy fighting erupted in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Saturday between insurgents and Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers, local sources told Garowe Online.

Four soldiers were killed when an Ethiopian a Woyanne army convoy transporting food to a major military base at the former pasta factory, in north Mogadishu, hit a roadside bomb.

A total of seven people were wounded during a brief skirmish immediately after the explosion, as insurgents opened gunfire and the Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers responded with a barrage of bullets.

Seven people –- four Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers and three Somali insurgents –- were wounded in the subsequent gunfire, witnesses said.

The insurgents escaped moments before Ethiopian Woyanne army reinforcements sealed off the area.

Several people were arrested by Ethiopian Woyanne troops, who entered surrounding neighborhoods in search of suspects.

Upwards of 7,000 people have been killed in Mogadishu clashes since January 2007, when Ethiopian Woyanne-backed Somali government forces expelled Islamist rulers from the capital.

  1. Somali’s are annihilating Woyane with little more than Ak47’s. If there are people who still think Woyane can not be rid of with force, take heart!

    Ethiopians, let us learn.
    Be smart, be a little more organized and you can get rid of this pest.

  2. The invading woyanaetplf forces must leave Somalia and Ethiopia. The people of Somalia are a very good example and role model for Ethiipians in the bitter and persitence fighting against the robbers and murderers.

    Day by day the woyanae destructive and murderious invaders are licking and eating the dusts in the streets of Moqadishou with no chance of the dead woyanae robbers being collected for burial, if they are really lucky enough.

    Victory is invevitable for the Somalia people as they are fighting tooth and nail against the tplfwoyanae looters. So Ethiopians must also keep fighting against the looters and the killers who came into Ethiopia with no penny in their possesion except they had a lot of guns and bullets to loot and kill Ethiopians.

  4. Small, but steadily, the Somali war is cutting down the TPLF regime’s force power and morale. Alas, the poor soldiers are killed by the arms TPLF officers trade to insurgents to make some money.
