(Press TV) — At least 24 Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers have been killed in heavy clashes with the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) fighters in southern Somalia.
The remaining Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers started to flee the Jiro Kulow district, which lies between the Lower Shabelle and Bay Region in southern Somalia, Press TV correspondent in the country reported.
A military vehicle which belonged to Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers was further destroyed in a land mine explosion, our correspondent added.
The Somali transitional federal government has plunged into a new round of conflict over the dismissal of the mayor of Mogadishu.
Mohamed Omar Habeeb Dheere was sacked by Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein for ‘Dheere’s failing to bring peace and stability to the capital and lack of competence in administration’.
However, Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed has reportedly reinstated Dheere, who controls a large contingent of militia that has been fighting alongside the US-backed Ethiopian troops against the UIC fighters.
Dheere joined the government after US-backed Ethiopian Woyanne troops invaded Somalia in 2006 and overthrew the UIC.
Thousands of civilians have been killed and at least one million people have been displaced since the ouster of UIC out of Mogadishu.

Good Somali fighters. Don’t let them rest. Take out everyone of them. If you can please take out Meles also.
Elias! the news should have been, “another 24 innocent Ethiopians killed by Meles’s weyane”, I believe that should be the appropriate headline when it comes to all Ethiopians that are being killed all over the horn region just to boost the ego of the midget man from Adwa. How could you say weyane soldiers when all weyanes are just hoodwinkling the Ethiopian people in name of “democracy, development, constitution, and so on”. They have perfected the lies after 17 years of lies. In order to hoodwinkle the average Ethiopian just wear a donated suit, tie and just say something, if not kill and kill. This is the reality in Ethiopia and god save Ethiopians from the devils of weyanes
The Woyannie Tigraians went to Somalia to do the dirty job the white Americans and Europeans did not want to do. The Woyannies chose slavery rather than liberty and they chose death than life. Who am I to tell the Somalis not to defend their own land?
If the Woyannie slaves care for Ethiopia, let them go to Western Ethiopia in Gonder, Gojam, Oromia … and defend our own fertile land from the Islamist Sudanese regime.
Only fools will cry for the death of Woyannie slaves.
Our Somali brothers and sisters did not grab fertile Ethiopian land and we don’t care what kind of God a Somali worships. It is none of an Ethiopian business, unless he wants to slave for Bush and Di*ck admin.
If there are fools out there, let them cry for the death of Woyannie slaves.
I still prefer to call them Ethiopian soldiers; but I recognise that they are used as a tool for evil cause. Regardless, I have no compassion towards them when they are dying outside of Ethiopian soil (to please meles) while the army is still silent regarding the ceding of Ethiopian land to the Sudan.
The continued death of Woyanne mercenaries in Somalia is to be expected, the Somalis will fight for their freedom from the colonial occupation of Woyanne on behalf of their masters, what is scaring Woyanne to death is the dissolution of UNMEE, that has left them exposed on the entire border with Eritrea, that is giving Melles many a sleepless nights, he is crying to his masters to save him from the Eritrean defense forces who are ready and poised to pounce on his hapless mercenary army any time now. That is why the UN secretary general is sending his minions to “investigate” the fabricated border dispute between Eritrea and Djibouti, that whole non conflict was designed to do something on the border to keep the Eritrean defense forces from focusing on Woyanne, Ban Ki Mun knows his envoy is not welcome to Eritrea so I am wondering what his messenger is doing going to Addis and Djibouti. Eritrea will not allow any outside force on its border with any country anymore, all they can do now watch Woyanne wither away slowly while they are running around to save them from certain demise.
