 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Insurgents on Wednesday ambushed a convoy of African Union peacekeepers sent to help stabilize Somalia's violent capital, setting off a gunfight that wounded three civilians, witnesses said.
Leaders of Mogadishu's dominant clan called on the struggling government to do more to protect civilians in one of the world's most violent cities.
Traditional leaders and businessmen from the Hawiye clan have long criticized the leadership of President Abdullahi Yusuf, a member of the rival Darod clan. Clan rivalries have been the key hurdle preventing the formation of an effective central government since 1992.
