The pictures show young as well as fully bearded grown men all succumbed to injuries sustained during todayÂ’s fierce fight between the interim government and the Islamic Courts. The area is now controlled by the government.
TodayÂ’s official word from the Islamists was twenty martyred in the past two days and sixty wounded from all three fronts. Either information on this group of dead Islamic Courts fighters did not reach Mogadishu yet or they downplayed it on purpose for propaganda reasons. It is the first time the courts met with stiff and damaging resistance since the start of their conquest to conquer all Somalia. Although the interim government is denying the popular belief is that professional members of Ethiopian army are fighting along government forces. The images we have came from a neutral third party that has no affiliation with either side of the conflict. |
