- Share via
Gunmen attacked Ethiopian troops in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, residents said, as Somalian and U.S. officials pledged to work together to stabilize the chaotic nation.
Attackers opened fire on forces backing the interim government in the second day of violence directed at Ethiopian troops, who helped oust Islamists who had taken the capital.
The violence came after Somalian Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi met in Nairobi, Kenya, with Washington’s top diplomat for Africa, Jendayi E. Frazer.
The two discussed U.S. aid and an African peacekeeping force.
