 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Insurgents and Ethiopian troops backing Somali government forces fought again in the capital Mogadishu on Sunday, while a human rights group said at least 47 people died — some caught in crossfire in the previous day's fighting.
The government, warning of an upcoming offensive, called on residents living in insurgent strongholds to leave their homes.
Sudan Ali Ahmed, the chairman of the Elman Human Rights Organization, said six insurgents and 41 civilians died. Some of the civilians died of their injuries after being wounded during the previous day's heavy fighting, he said.
