 BAIDOA, Somalia (AP) - Somalia's prime minister charged Saturday that Egypt, Libya and Iran are arming the Islamic militants who challenge his rule, lengthening the list of countries accused of fueling this country's political chaos.
Premier Mohammed Ali Gedi and the militants have been trading allegations that Ethiopia — Somalia's traditional rival — is backing the prime minister and Eritrea — Ethiopia's enemy — is helping the militants.
Gedi's weak government, meanwhile, has been unraveling. Two lawmakers were shot this week — one fatally — and Gedi faces a no-confidence vote after 18 members of parliament resigned from his administration, saying it has failed to bring peace.
