Ethiopian, Somali troops tighten hold on Mogadishu
Note:
Somali government troops and their Ethiopian allies took control of the former U.S. embassy building in Mogadishu on Friday, tightening their hold on the capital after Islamist rivals fled. "Ethiopian troops and government soldiers have settled in the compound of the former U.S. embassy. I can see more than 30 Russian-made military trucks," said Abdi Hassan, one of hundreds of local residents gathered outside the former U.S. mission.
