 BAIDOA, Somalia (AP) - Ethiopian troops reportedly arrived in a central Somali town Tuesday in a move that may stoke tensions with the Islamic militiamen who control most of southern Somalia.
Witnesses said the troops entered the town of Galkayo, driving seven pickup trucks mounted with machine guns and six trucks loaded with boxes.
"Their arrival was not a secret," resident Ali Mohamed told The Associated Press by telephone. "They were seen inside the town in 13 vehicles. Some of them were even waving at us."
