At least eight civilians have been killed and 12 people wounded in fresh fighting in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, witnesses say.
Fighting broke out when insurgents ambushed Ethiopian forces returning from a security operation, near the football stadium in Towfiq district.

Casualty figures among the fighting forces were not clear.

Ethiopian troops are supporting the Somali government against an alliance of Islamist opposition groups.

I have noticed that you often include derogatory swipes at the poster in your responses. In this case, was it not sufficient to simply make your point? Instead you felt compelled to state that the poster has not been “paying attention.” How do you know that? Perhaps the poster has another opinion and has been paying close attention.

Regarding your post, what is your point? So what that it is a small percentage. No one claimed otherwise. It remains, however, that the overwhelming majority of terrorist killers are Muslims. The poster was pointing to the irony of the reference “religion of peace” when some of its members use the religion to justify the killing of innocent people, while many of its other members remain silent.

Its a government of corrupt warlords versus islamic militias. This isn't a good example of evil muslims fighting against a decent, honorable democratic government.

I wasn't setting it up as an example of anything. I doubt ANY of the islamic militias identify their enemies as "decent, honorable democratic governments."

I would further add that even if they do oust the corrupt warlords, the islamic militants aren't very like to set up a decent, honorable democratic government themselves.
