BAIDOA, Somalia (AP) - Dozens of people protested Saturday against an Islamic militia that has seized much of southern Somalia, a day after the group appointed a new administration in the country's third largest city.
One person was injured when militiamen fired into the air as they tried to disperse the crowd in Kismayo, a key seaport about 260 miles southwest of the capital, Mogadishu.
Abdu-kadir Ahmed, the newly appointed officer in charge of security in Kismayo, said about 100 demonstrators had been arrested for taking part in protests Friday and Saturday.
