MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - The Somali government has shut down three independent radio stations in two days, journalists said Tuesday, as troops backed by Ethiopian soldiers continued to battle Islamic insurgents in the shrapnel-strewn streets of the capital.
Radio Simba and Radio Banadir went off the air Tuesday morning, a day after Shabelle Media Network was ordered to shut down.
All three stations are based in the capital, Mogadishu, where Ethiopian forces have been cracking down since several Ethiopian troops were killed, mutilated and dragged through the streets last week.
